S.E. Kiser

I fight a battle every day Against discouragement and fear;

Some foe stands always in my way, The path ahead is never clear!

I must forever be on guard Against the doubts that skulk along;

I get ahead by fighting hard, But fighting keeps my spirit strong.

I hear the croakings of Despair The dark predictions of the weak;

I find myself pursued by Care No matter what the end I seek;

My victories are small and few, It matters not how hard I strive;

Each day the fight begins anew, But fighting keeps my hopes alive.

My dreams are spoiled by circumstance, My plans are wrecked by Fate or Luck;

Some hour, perhaps, will bring my chance, But that great hour has never struck;

My progress has been slow and hard, I’ve had to climb and crawl and swim,

Fighting for every stubborn yard; But I have kept in fighting trim.

I have to fight my doubts away And be on guard against my fears;

The feeble croaking of Dismay Has been familiar through the years;

Events combine to thwart my will; But fighting keeps my spirit strong,

And I am undefeated still! -
