"I fight for my future honor my past / By standing my ground right here and right now"
But Not Without a Fight
Just as I thought nothing more could be done Criminals were crossing me off their list Mission accomplished bagged another one In this case one too depressed to resist Their inexorable smugness of power I sensed that something like hope had begun Had sprung up in the night a sudden flower
With the dawning summer now it rises To see a crooked lawyer cringe and sweat In an unblinking yet a winking sun He sees I am not easy to forget After all along the way to the fall So I opt for life as an optimist Since even the small had better stand tall As just deserts bloom sudden surprises
They tried to take it all from me and yet I am the most stubborn person I know They forgot something they must now regret That I never never never let go They were set to drag me from my front door But here I stand a fighting chance at last Dead or alive they will fool me no more
I fight for my future honor my past By standing my ground right here and right now And I have nailed my colors to the mast I will beat them or die trying somehow Dead or alive my honor will survive If I go down now I go for birthright Since even the small had better stand tall After all along the way to the fall
A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.
