Stand and Fight

What’s something you’ve done that you never thought you could?

I was but a small boy

Not yet one hundred pounds

And there before me stood a man

To throw me to the ground


His age was nought but one year more,

His muscles lean and strong,

height was six inch more than me,

Fearsome was his song


His leg lashed out in violent strike

My shoulder screamed despair

I stood my ground with every blow

As fists flew through the air


I did not win that rowdy fight

But neither did I flee

I stood my ground and faced my fear

And made my rival bleed.
