I resolved to fight <br />I scarce had strength to stand <br />I trembled in every limb <br />I could go no farther <br />I resolved to fight <br />Wearied in body, broken in spirit <br />Humble... <br />I nerved myself up <br />Come what might <br />I resolved to fight <br />Cowardice departed <br />From whence came the spirit <br />I don't know <br />Persist in my resistance <br />I resolved to fight <br />Repelled the bloody arm of slavery <br />To the heaven of freedom <br />Determination... <br />You have seen how a man was made a slave <br />You shall see how a slave was made a man <br />I resolved to fight<br /><br />Rebekah Parrish<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/resolution-11/
