Frightful Night

I grab my lance,
and my Steed is readily near,
the thoughts of those I loved,
and what I'm fighting for.

Love and Live and I must fight,
To get the prize I seek.
But on this frightful night,
The one I must fight is me.

But I get on my steed 
and ride down this hill.
With Courage and Faith,
I Strike with this Steed,
one fear down 
then another, 
and another again.

Till all that is left is me,
but the biggest one of all,
has to come along,
and I can not face it alone.

The Fear of not knowing 
What will happen,
Until it comes,

But I know with Faith and Love,
I grab my Sword and Shield.
Racing toward this Fear,
I shall strike him down,
But time is all I need.

This is an excellent poem about courage. And when you win against your greatest fear, you might just become a knight in shining armor. I enjoyed reading your poem. Welcome to Poetry Soup.
