Wrestle with a giant named Failure
Fight for each breath with a fiend called Disease
Dig into a life labelled as Shallow

And win
And do not give up or give in
And break through

That giant Shadow follows shadowing steps
That Sickness creeps into thoughts, mind and body
The Dirt steals strength from the idle shovel

Face it ... face to Face, with the eyes to see it through
All of it, consume it, so it cannot consume you,
Sometimes...all it takes is a bigger shovel, and No Quit.

And A Friend
