The Fighter Poem by louis rams

don't ever give up, don't ever give in
you're a fighter you will win.
there will be obstacles put in your way
but you will move them, they will not stay.

look at the battles that lie ahead
and find the path that you will tread.
set your goal in your mind
open all the doors until you find
the door that leads you to the light
and with GODS help you'll know it's right.

perseverance and determination
is what saved our nation.
from our civil war we learned to unite
and overcame all obstacles within our sight.

so you must do the same
as our forefathers
had done before.
if you want to settle the score.

fight everything that comes your way
if in this world you want to stay.
some doors will open
and many will close
but that part of life
will keep you on your toes.

you are a fighter and be proud of that
for there is no turning back
