End Zone
Carrying enough baggage for a worldwide tour
Filled up with battle scars from multiple wars
Taking score but unsure if winning or losing
One thing's for sure is the psyche is bruising
Yet, still choosing to fight the good fight
Anticipating the arrival of the next flight
With foresight from prior fights, here we stand
A Soldier's perseverance is what life demands
For a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
Blessings in lessons are worth more than cush
A push to get your tush out it's comfort zone
Is just what's needed to reach the end zone

Damon, it's great to see you are back.
Great verse, loved those two last lines which really drive the idea of pushing forward to get to where we want to be.
Hope all is well with you.

Thanks Wally. I'm glad to be back. Had to step away from a lot of things for awhile. Starting to get back to being me. Hope all's well with you too. Happy Holidays.
