Written for the January challenge of a group- Beyond the Box
Thou soar with an abiding spirit
Surmount many a stumbling block,
Crush those who turn traitors
But caringly cloak your flock.
Booming cannons thou lullaby,
Not just a sad symphony.
Thou march forth with a strong mind,
Hold on to your goals for company.
Mountains of faith you carry with comfort
Trampling agony’s caution to pull you down.
Storms of discord turn to murmurs faint,
Watching thou walk without a frown.
As hours stop crossing paths with you,
And a world stands up to honour a son
Who lay calm amidst shouts of victory
A faithful warrior hardly saw wars won.
