605. Valorous

Let me offer some hard-learned advice,

About struggle and sacrifice.

No matter how strong you are,

One day you will think twice,

And denounce every scar.

“Life is not worth living anymore”,

You will say…but you must endure!

For those few precious moments…

Of joyfulness…so pure.

Life’s in the experience,

So fight on with great valor!
