Warriors
I often wonder where our warriors have gone
Have the disappeared? Left with the dawn?
Perhaps they no longer wear armor or skins
But instead do their best to try and blend in
If you look you’ll see them all around
Within almost anyone they can be found
A football player at a hometown game
Defending his land lights the heart’s flame
A warrior is not defined by great strength
But by their ability to have patience for a great length
A babe’s mother will fight to the death
To protect her child, she’ll give her last breath
A warrior has courage to do what is needed
Even when danger is acknowledged and heeded
A soldier far from home who fights to extend
Not the reputation, but the time before the end
A warrior knows what’s important, the big and small
They put themselves behind the good of all
A cop fighting crime, working through his days
To keep order and reweave as justice frays
A warrior protects, tries to stop the wrong
He defends the weak because he is strong
A warrior fights for faith and life
Trying to stop the world’s strife
For honor and Love the warrior appears
To save a life, to stop the tears
But no matter when, or how, or why
Even if they’ll fail, a warrior will try
