Warrior

[Written on September 20, 2006.]


fight the battles that face you now
don't run away and don't be cowed
once you win this one, though scarred
you will be brought much closer to your star

the struggle is not really a necessity
if you put on the armor that you carry
march on the path and leave your fear
your shield is your faith, your mission is clear

stand your ground, unsheathe your sword
take aim and advance like never before
the wind is on your back; unfurl your wings
you can take on what the future brings

whatever you encounter here today
prepares you for things to come anyway
so always brace yourself, at all times be ready
be vigilant and watch out for the enemy

be still and know that you are not one
if all your courage is harnessed by the sun
you are chosen and you will surely win
know that and be strengthened from within
