I am fighting a losing battle

 I composed this when my Mom was critically ill, and doctors had given up hope. I kept up with my efforts, hoping for some miracle:

I am fighting a losing battle,

But I shall persist till the end.

                          

Victory will not be mine,

But defeat will salute my valiant efforts.

Why should I keep up my untiring efforts?

Its not about emerging victorious.

I am determined to let victory know,

The valiants never surrender in the face of certain defeat.

This is my commitment to someone very precious to me,

I will leave no stone unturned to snatch victory from jaws of defeat.
