All That I Have.

Keep fighting for what you want.

I am not a celebrity,
I don't have a luxury car.
I am just an ordinary guy,
And I can't buy you any star...

 

I am not a magician,
That can work wonders.
I am just an ordinary guy,
Who makes too many blunders.

 

I am not a soldier,
But I've been fighting.
Beaten to dust everytime,
But from the dust still rising.

 

And I am still here,
fighting for what I crave.
Trying my best,
it's all the love I have to give...

We are not heroes, but we live and we have to live life with by the things we have learned living. It's called experience. We can't get experience without making mistakes, without failing. But each time, I think we become stronger. To try our best is all we can do. You have written this in your poem and its all true. Liked it.

I absolutely love the line, "But from the dust still rising." This is a wonderful expression of that greatest gift we give to one another: Love.

NOTES:
Who [makes] many blunders.
The word "But" in the last line isn't need, I think. It seems to minimize the grand, magnanimous truth of the final statement. I suggest something like this for the closing line: "It's all the Love I have to give…"

[Sanjh]

Again very valuable inputs and the line "But from the dust still rising", it's my favourite too.

A nice suggestion for the last line but it'll change the meaning of what I want to convey...

Thanks again, keep on reviewing my writings, really helpful for me...:)

I will be watching for more from you…

[Sanjh]

sure, thanks...:)

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome.

I see you made some edits. I still think the "But" in the last line detracts from the denouement of the final message.

[Sanjh]

Oh, I missed that one. But now updated...thank you so much for reminding. I really did forget about that...:)

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome. I really do think that last line drives from all the preceding lines and delivers a terrific denouement now.

[Sanjh]

True, it looks far better than before now. Thank you so much for helping...:)
