Unfair

Overflowing from my bank
The unwelcome water seeping.
To and fro and lurking still
Into my soul it's creeping.

Scourge this, be damned to you
I have never asked this claim.
I live my life 
Provide for many, leave me just the same.

I watch over babes, provide sustenance too,
Caring and warmth and love.
Their thoughts and actions rebound to me.
The grandest of God above.

Be gone you scourge that is mine,
Be gone you pestilence now!
I will fight, I will win, cast you aside,
And take no heed, no how.

All have joined and all will love 
For all that I will give.
I never stop to offer more
and that is why I live.

I live by this, from all of you
To keep my spirits clear.
With all of you around me,
You give me strength...

I have no fear.
