A Warrior's Fight

It's been said that God gives his hardest battles To his strongest soldiers. Those who endure The seemingly impossible And unimaginable Continue to faithfully fight To the bitter end. A warrior's valor tested Time and time again Ends in the same result. Like an eternal flame The fighter within them remains Giving up is not an option Quitting isn't in the vocabulary, And just as sure as God made Heaven and Earth, A warrior will undoubtedly Prove their worth. Whether it's for themselves Or someone else, There's no two ways about it. When adaptation and improvisation Are the keys to opening The doors of possibility, A warrior will find a way. Sacrificing without complaint. Often times smiling Through the deepest of pains In a never ending battle for The pursuit of their happiness And the happiness of others. Their eyes have seen What their hearts and minds Will never forget. Only to be prepared for The ultimate battle of a lifetime. When you have to fight To stay alive no matter What your situation may be. When there are others who need you Courage, strength, integrity, Determination and faith Become your battle dress, Your shield and sword. You are that warrior. And warriors never quit. Despite what you've been through, And may have yet to face When it's all said and done, The reward will always be In its rightful place. Within the soul of the warrior. Within you. 9/25/17 Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
