Andrew M. Davis
"Not in Vain"

To the one enticed by despair
And coerced by disdain:
The battle that you fight is not in vain.
To the one befriended by futility
And bound by pain:
The battle that you fight is not in vain.
To the one tempted to surrender,
Waking to rain:
The battle that you fight is not in vain.
To the one provoked by adversity
And can scarcely sustain:
The battle that you fight is not in vain.
We who enslaved by hope
Will never explain:
The battle we fight is not in vain.
The battle we fight
Will not remain.
