Sometimes life declares war on you
Without you knowing it
Years pass by
Decades even
Before you know it
.....
But small victories reside
Before surrender
Even tho
Life takes the best parts
Leaves you with graying
Memories
....
The laughter of your children
The home that lies within your
Mother
The road to your childhood
Home
Summers with a beloved.
All small victories
In a war
That life always takes...
