The road is tough, the wait is long, <br /> But, through it all, I will stay strong. <br /> <br /> No matter what tomorrow brings, <br /> I know I will endure all things. <br /> And, with the ever rising sun, <br /> I'll claim each day, a battle won. <br /> <br /> I shall be brave, until it's done, <br /> And I shall stay, forever strong. <br /> Because, I know, the line's been drawn, <br /> And soon, I'll face, A Battle Won.<br /><br />Carlos C.
