Lone Warrior

Battle gear always on
He has to stay strong
Allies with many armies but still travels alone
Has a house that he owns, but still searches for a home
Counts the soldiers he can count on and it totals only one
…
But always quick to give a helping hand
Can’t stand to see his allies down
No burden too heavy, he’ll keep them all off the ground
Never complains, in fact he makes no sounds
Only time he smiles is when his love comes around
She is the only reason he takes off his helmet
Which he wears as a crown
And this is not the life he wants to live
But its what been given
His constant battle is for his book of life
Determined to change what’s written
A mission
To write in all the things that are missing
Reasons for living…
Though every day he prays, humbly gracious, full of thanksgiving
He knows every breath is a gift
And he uses his gifts to strengthen and uplift
While negative weakness he cuts down and dismiss
Reshaping his reality no star for a damn wish
Sometimes the only light he can even see is his
…
Though he’s been battling so long, still doesn’t always fight right
Looks at his reflection in his sword, asks the Lord for insight
Sometimes forgets his strength is gone, he’s been using God’s might
Sheds a tear, but no fear, re-encouraged thing will be alright
And this is so real, far from a fairy tale
A lone warrior seeing heaven in the midst of this hell
