Promised to one woman, written for another

[adalger]

Forge onward, brave, against despair
When cruel destiny awaits,
And at the end you'll find me there.

The prize is rich for those who dare
To pit their strength against their fates.
Forge onward, brave, against despair

To hold the hand of human care.
Hold fast until the pain abates,
And at the end you'll find me there.

In darkness when you know not where
The path leads safely to the gates,
Forge onward, brave, against despair.

Oh, sailor, well I wish you fare
Among those narrow rocky straits,
And at the end you'll find me there.

When heart is heavy, soul laid bare,
And nowhere can you see your mates,
Forge onward, brave, against despair
And at the end you'll find me there.

*cries while reading*
thank you, my friend.

And now both women have seen it. :)

And I cried while writing, too. I needed to hear these words as much as I needed to say them.
