A Strong Warrior
I was given a warrior's name,
comparing myself with saints,
presidents, painters, and princes...
all of whom have known grace.
The name Andrew means manly:
a strong and masculine image
standing out in this eccentric age...
when men are losing their identity.
A strong warrior as my ancestors were...
someone who has the boldest spirit
to fight until he sees a definitive defeat,
otherwise, his strength will increase in dare.
This name is the essence of a dedicated living:
two tireless arms holding up the pillars of my temple;
it will change its appearance, but it will never tumble:
to remind others that nothing is lost in persisting.
