Hero's

They gave their lives for our freedom
They fought all proud and true
The mighty warriors of Odin
Fought when the battle horn was blew

They waited for the enemy to attack
With sword and shield in hand
No nerves among these mighty men
When that battle horn was blew

The Gods where there beside them
Waiting for their mighty foes
But when they came upon them 
They were slew in there droves

The Gods fought bravely that day
But this was not to be
Odin and his fellow gods
Would be now a part of history

Only four of the hero's survived that day
To make the world a new
They survived the fiery Surtr sword
When that battle horn was blew

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
