Usually I really hate lines that begin with connective conjunctions as usually they weaken a piece of poetry, but in your poem they improve the overall piece nicely. Really good posting.

So glas to see you posting..haven't seen you in a while...where have you been?

Very well done verse on "fighting on".

Loved the opening stanzas and thre repeat of" for I have my own battle cry":

There is an end to life for me
But my strength and will cannot die
The dark may wax
The light may wane
But I have my own battle cry

No cease in hope--no lying down
As victory in bleakness is nigh
When in the depths
I'll always rise
For I have my own battle cry

Marvelous to see you posting again dear Sue - You've been missed. this is a potent battle cry - expressive and determined. The artwork lends aesthetic to your morale-boosting write.

Tight and polished, this work is potent and inspiring. I find no nits.

Favorite stanza is the first

There is an end to life for me
But my strength and will cannot die
The dark may wax
The light may wane
But I have my own battle cry

Warmly, rama devi

Dear friend I have missed your postings, I almost wrote you a pm but I didn't want to intrude. No I can read you have gone thru your own battle cry but still with love of life. My best to you!

    Amada, so glad to hear from you. I suppose the winter gave way to summer and I just didn't write. Missed it a lot. Thanks so much for your great review! Sue :-))
