A Brave Warrior Passed On His Battle Scars
A Brave Warrior Passed On His Battle Scars
Great warrior gave me his used battle sword
battered and bloody stained with glowing red.
Greatest of gems in hidden treasure hoard
now his adventure is long gone, long dead.
There was deep kindness in his last giving
generous, bound with honorable pride.
Superb gem, passed on to one now living
respect well earned, he had nothing to hide.
Ages have swiftly flown by, and his gem shines
mirrors the seeking light in my tired soul.
As the end approaches, past fights refines
the depths of my long journey's desired goal.
A brave warrior passed on his battle scars.
Adding again, treasures to distant stars.
