It's a Good Life if you Don't Weaken - the Poem

 

i)

current health to stay  - yes

but even more...

find somewhere to go

find somewhere to grow

it is necessary

it is normal

go somewhere you're needed

valued loved appreciated

sure yes

I'm ready 

I'll go now.

but where?

ii)  

heads hung with woe will rise

hoods will fall back

tears...dried

integrity  - intact, battered besieged,

           yet intact 

going

growing

even in these last days.
