My Fight

"My Fight"
By: Debra Sue Higginbotham

I'm in a knock down fight,
it's a fight for my life ...
I am more than a mother,
and more than a wife.

I am a person, I am a lady,
with some years under my belt,
and a few more inches,
I wish would simply melt.

I'm in a drag out fight,
and my demons will not win...
if I fall down, I just get up -
and I do it again and again.

My body may have scars,
and my skin may be flawed...
but every time I slay a dragon,
the Angels - they do applaud.

I'm in a knock down fight,
a glorious finish will be mine!
Can I count on you for backup,
as I melt across the finish line?
