Listen to poem:
life, you’ve dealt me blows
left and right
some underhand and outright dirty
come on - don’t pretend it isn’t so
while it’s true
what doesn’t kill you
makes you stronger
it never seems so
at the time
but through the years
the many nagging losses
sure do prepare you
for the big ones
whipped into submission
convinced that’s all there is
yes maybe so –
but you can’t take away
from me
my memories
of glory days
between the losses
