Up against tough
It gets rough
Strain ‘n’ pressure
Knock-down blows
Repeated kicks
Creasing forehead
Clenched teeth
Battered ‘n’ bruised
Body, mind, heart ‘n’ soul
…
A lamb in a precarious situation
Slipping grip
Skidding feet
Blood curdling screams
Hanging by the thread
Between life ‘n’ death
Left by the world
To the mercy of the heavens above
…
Just when all seems lost
I hear hope call
Hang on!
Come on!
Rally on!
You’re a fighter
Give a fighting fight till the very finish
You can’t give up!
…
Out of breath
By now
Used up every ounce of strength
A sinking feeling
All resolve dissolves
Realization dawns
It must be the end…
…
Last cry for help
“Oh God!”
…
A hand pulls me from the abyss
Saved by a whisker
In the nick of time
“Good Shepherd
Why did you wait till the last second?”
“‘N’ why did you?
I was waiting too
With bated breath
For you, to finally call on me.”
