The Scout

The Scout

Perched upon the hill;
Alert in all his senses.
Awaiting for approach of dangers;
Protector of his peoples.
A warrior like none other;
One that knows pure self control.
Master of solitude;
Listener of all things.
Awake! Alive!;
This loyal one is.
Dedicated to his tribe;
Keeper of life.
Always ready to spring to action;
Always willing to sit and wait.
Never abandoning his post;
Fighter for his cause.
Warrior Scout:
Leads the way.
Watching the signs;
Follower of his instincts.
