Hero

A soothing wind caressed his cheek,
A lonesome tear threatened to flow.
Our gloomy champion deeply sighed,
Feeling crushed, down and low.

Life taking an unpleasant turn,
Had broken his fearless spirit. 
Tests and trials of mounting stress
Challenged his will and grit.

Against the turbulent gusts of adversity, 
His waning flame of zeal flickered. 
Yet his gallant core fought back,
Emerging from the ashes undeterred. 

Our fallen warrior gulped hard,
Wiping the lone tear with his sleeve.
He tightened his armor, sharpened his sword, 
As the lion within him fearlessly roared. 

Ready to tackle challenges head on,
His tenacity and will power prevailed. 
Dodging all problems and obstacles,
His life-ship smoothly sailed.

If your life too gets harsh and tough, 
Learn from our victor's inner war.
Put on your indestructible cape,
And be the fearless hero you are!
