Braveheart

Onward mere mortal man
Your stoic heart abides
Armor clad you make a stand
To brave the swelling tides

Quiet of conscience bred
You fight the torrid breeze
Over feudal lands you bled
And the tempest tossed seas

No obstacle prevails
Your courage has no bounds
To the mast you lash your sails
And dock on foreign grounds 

Honor you long defend
What mighty soul you hoard
When at last you greet the end
To relinquish shield and sword

Hello Randy, a wonderful poem on Braveheart. I loved that movie and the general historic aspects of William Wallace. - Blessings, Daniel
