This is the last one-
The last battle
I can rest
When at last I reach
The other side…

Until I reach the other side
And find
Another war
Already raging
Bloodier, more violent
Than any before.

God,
I am so tired…
So weak,
So distraught…
I know,
In my heart of hearts
I cannot walk
Another step,
Cannot swing another weapon…
Cannot defeat another enemy…

I lay down my weapons,
Fall upon my knees
My hands lifted in surrender…
Take me,
I give up
You win…
Do with me as you will….

There can be
No more fight.

Mary...
For personal reasons that really hit home with me today.
Going through a huge battle right now.

Thank you!

Exactly! Been there, done that. Too tired to fight anymore.
