WAY OF THE WARRIOR

 

THE WARRIOR KNOWS…

ALL THE WAYS OF MEN AND WAR

OF WHAT MOTIVATES MERE MORTALS

AND WHAT DRIVES THOSE THAT WANT MORE

 

THE WARRIOR WAITS…

POISED, FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT TO STRIKE

SURE THE STRONG – HE’S ALWAYS READY

HE KEEPS HIS VICTORY IN SIGHT

 

THE WARRIOR LEADS…ONLY THOSE READY TO FOLLOW

HE BRINGSHEART TO EVERY MOVE

THOUGH ONLY FIGHTING BATTLES WORTHY

CAUSE HE HAS NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE

 

BUT THE WARRIOR NEVER FORGETS…

ANY BATTLE WON OR LOST

FOR WHEN HE LAYS HIS SWORD DOWN HE’S STILL A MAN

WHO KNOWS…THAT EVERYTHING COMES AT A COST.

  

                                             LOUISA…
