come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I give my gratitude
for reminding me
why I wake up in the morning.
why I go through the grind.
why I pray.
it’s the honor to serve
all those who deserve
a decent shot at this life.
I am returning to the fray,
once more, to earn my dream.

I am thinking about you
you were always there
in times of hardship
in times of peace
no matter what others say
no matter what you had to go through
hang on with me just a little longer
we are pushing ahead for another run
it won’t be the last,
and no guarantee we’ll come back
but at least we are in this together.
one more time, into the fray, we go.

Drums are beating again, once more for the race among the fray,
Sing along and join us in staccato tab dance, a tango with parrying swords
You are already missed among our fellow contenders, allegedly auspicious days are ahead
If you find yourself beleaguered, may your indefatigable pluck arise from deluge of darkness
Harbinger of affable colleague is already here, cheers to you, dear.
