Warrior


Fierce,
Unconquerable,
Are the eyes of youth.


A thousand rejections
only spring desire
A million disappointments
only breed flame


Left bleeding on a battlefield
give me a child warrior
over a legion of mercenary


For the soldier fights with grit and pride
but the child fights with hope.

Your timing is incredible. The new missionaries were sitting on my couch. I was showing them Argentina pics but did not click on the link till after they left. They are coming back in a couple of weeks for dinner.
