I Know Wherefore ye Speak

 
 
I know wherefore ye speak  
my friend …
 
As I have said...in the  
end...  
 
you get the message...it's  
plain to see...  
 
We're both still here...  
amazingly...  
 
Somehow we handled the
crushing blows…
 
that threatened our egos and our repose…
 
After those conflagrations...  
we rose…

from the ashes … bloodied but unharmed...  

yet better armed...than we'd  
ever been.
