To Crush with Love......

~Courage Under Fire~

The Devil thinks he has won,

His attack caught me off guard,

But my Lord has got my back,

So I maintain Courage Under Fire!

 

My body weakened, Battered and bruised,

My minds such a blur,

I’m frightened and unsure of what to do.

 

So I scream at the world, lookin to lay blame,

Why has this happened?

I feel like I’m going insane.

 

So unfair I still have so much to do

But I’m fighting what feels like an endless battle

Unsure if I will WIN or LOOSE.

 

Day after day my treatment continues

Poisons injected, reason is out the window

What ever can be done, they try it all

So still I maintain Courage Under Fire!

 

The road ahead is unclear, and it’s going to be a long haul

But I’m prepared to fight, to keep going,

Willing to deal with it all.

 

Never giving in to the torment

They poke and prod,

Here take this, swallow that,

So I maintain Courage Under Fire!

 

 Unsure of my future, I worry for my children

If I leave this place, will they keep their Faith?

 

Will they know how much I Love them

 Do they know I’ll always be here?

Maybe not in the flesh, but definitely in spirit!

 

Will they understand even though it hurts,

That everything happens for a reason?

There’s little comfort for those left behind

But for us all there is a time, a season.

 

And I know it makes no sense, but I have to have Faith,

So I pray, let go, and put it in Gods hands.

 So I maintain Courage Under Fire!

 

My body no longer my own, subject to all the medication,

But I’m still fighting this race,

I’m healed in Jesus name, and I spit in Satan’s face,

 

My body may be tired, but that is just a shell,

My spirit is all that matters,

  So I maintain Courage Under Fire!

 

I’m hopeful of better days to come,

My victory is almost here,

In Jesus name I lay claim,

I AM HEALED!

i had to read this again and once again, thank you.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
