Triumph
Syd Francis 1980 (Lebanon)
Life over death,
I just have to say,
Good vs evil?
Looks like I'm here to stay...
Today I feel justice;
Has been served as my fate,
Although life is but a test,
I have been granted a later due date.
Although it felt like forever,
It was certainly worth the wait,
For this I am grateful,
My mind; now in the right state,
I had the feeling of resentment,
My heart was filled with hate,
But now all doubt is gone...
My justice was better late.
