Valiant Lips
My dear, I share with you a truth:
A life lesson I have lived.
Discretion is valor, a silent shield,
A strength that guards the heart revealed.
Be not the man who parrots all he hears,
Who, finding no one to tell,
Confides in the door.
He's a fool lost in words that wound and bore.
Let discretion be your strength—
Bridle your tongue

The Sons Of Valiant Blood
We are the sons of valiant blood
with a past crowned with glory,
and that richness is still ours
to build a brighter tomorrow for others
who will come after us and thank us:
many didn't give up their swords so quickly,
but in their quest: they boldly encountered
the threat of death and continued their journey!
The scariest, tenderest young boys

To A Warrior's Creed, Valiant Death, Fate Oft Decrees
I follow the red line into hot, blazing Hell
with razor sharp long sword firm in my fighting hand
sending the devils down where their demon friends dwell
down, down deep, upon earth's surface I take my stand
I, raging fighter, with valiant blood in my veins
The Sun my only friend

Valiant
Born with grace from the almighty
Fearless heart and brain that's mighty
He's one among the few brave men
Who fought valiantly with his pen
He would not fear to lay his life
To save his nation from strife
Like it was his destiny
To save his land from agony
The power of his mighty

The Life of a Valiant Knight In King Arthur's Court
The Life Of A Valiant Knight In King Arthur's Court
There within the postern side of a hairy night
Fumbled the great hero with his sharpened sword
His valor never questioned, he knew no fright
not even anger and pain of avenging hordes
All that red-blood spilt and enemy destroyed
His courage always a stout stallion on display
Long Bow, sharp

Born and So Welded Into a Valiant Hero To Be Set Apart
Born And So Welded Into A Valiant Hero To Be Set Apart
Whatever marrow of manhood lieth in this courageous heart
surrounded by this weak flesh and jubilant searching soul
born and so welded into a valiant hero to be set apart
wherein living earth and Mother Nature dares sets its goal.
Robert J. Lindley, May 13th 1971

She's a woman with a heart of a honey badger
and a will like a raging tiger.
She led her people against mighty Rome
in defense of the place that they called home.
Red haired queen, she was called.
She was one who was witty and bold.
She held the banner of the

Tears of a Valiant Soldier
She wept for this cause,
They couldn’t see beyond the present,
They didn’t deem it an urgent course,
While few are willing to listen, the majority choose to resent.
They say that how could a child’s eye see beyond the wall,
They are also not without their periscopes,
She can envisage their fall,
It’s like viewing falling meteorites through telescopes.

Tear of a Valiant Soldier
Tears of frustration!
Shed out of angst and exasperation
Exposing war's fatigue due to martyrdom exhaustion…
Soldier of valor, marching on despite persecution---
--- I acknowledge your persistence toward attainment of genuine liberation.
Tears of hardship!
Defying rigors of battle for true friendship
Burst due to agonizing distress to ensure relationship…
Soldier in good will pursuit following truth-anchored leadership---
--- I commend your stewardship

Tears of a Valiant Soldier
Too many were tears that he cried -

the beatings that his father gave.
locked in a room dark like a cave!
Too many were tears that he cried,
but like a soldier, strong and brave,
to keep in his sorrow he tried.
His father often he defied
when mom and
