NO WHITE FLAG

Life is not a stroll
In the park.
  It's a reach for something
In the dark.

  You have to keep what
Matters close.
  Memories come back and
Haunt you like a ghost.

  We are the
Strong ones.
  Still standing when
Hell comes.

  Things change in the
Blink of an eye.
  Still drinking when
The well runs dry.

  Doing the right thing,
Lay it on the line.
  Still believing when
The sun doesn't shine.

  We can handle a
Hard day's night.
  We won't quit when
It doesn't go right.

  Have to man-up when
The time comes.
  Life brings it, and
Then some.

  We face adversity with
A stiff upper-lip.
  No white flag,
We go down with our ship.
