Battles

Running through the nightly woods
Pitter patter along the muddy ground
Panting and huffing 
A boy with pointed ears
A small leaf like garment around his torso
Behind him a large beast runs
The beasts feet trample all below it
Digging large craters in the ground
His tail drags behind him and he growls
A snout that blows smoke and a mouth that spits fire
His wings spread and he takes flight
Following the elf through the woods
Burning all in sight
The elf makes his way towards a hill
As he looks up seeing the mighty beast above him
He slides and disappears
The beast continues flying and lowering himself 
Towards the bottom of the hill
No elf is found
Suddenly the small elf jumps unto the dragons back
Grabbing his horns 
Taming him but not without a good fight
Thrown and nearly blown up
The Dragon stands down and the elf holds his horns
The elf won against the beast

In life there are struggles we face
Some take time to overcome but we eventually overcome them
We win our battles, always.
