What We'Re Fighting For Poem by Blanche Hardin

I can't tell you how much it means to me,
For you to stand beside me in war against the enemy.
I've suffered the cause and have faught in this battle most of my life,
I am forever a soldier in this never-ending strife.
If i fall back and retreat,
I will have suffered and surrendered and would be beat.
Could you help me and help lift the burden of death and depression,
This is a cry out to you and a confession.
This is the battle i'm fighting against.
