[bodytext] => a fool am i to think that joy would knock upon my door! just another upper-cut that drops me to the floor! i don't think i can get up this time; each blow worse than the last! the aches and pains have worn me down; the light is fading fast! i never was a quitter, though I've left enough undone. my defeats out way the glory of the battles i have won. i haven't strength to carry on; the well of care's run dry. my heart has slowly turned to stone; gone the will to touch the sky. the stars are dimmer now-a-days; the moon a distant glow. steady silence burns my ears; my tears an endless flow. love is plain in all my dreams; but dreams last but a night. the love i need to sustain life is hidden in day's light. i hear an eight count overhead; two more and i am done! winter rushes all around; gone the season of the sun.
