Life Is So Precious And For It One Must Fight When heart has been crushed, sorrow is all one knows Pain becomes crushing, world delivers constant blows Even dawn its glory, wavers and fails to shine Grapes are withered, falling from a dying vine Soul looks to Heaven, begs fervently for release Even in ones sleep at night found is no sought peace Lost into a darkened wilderness- alone Searching for answers and away all hope has flown There in the distance a bright beacon sends its note Love saves the drowning, as once, an old poet wrote. When seeking, always look towards the waiting light. Life is so precious and for it one must fight. Robert J. Lindley, 6-04-2022
