We are all warriors.
By Sarah Spradlin
A warrior is not felled by one wound.
A warrior is not swayed by offers of evil.
A warrior is not given in to the pedestals of pride.
A warrior is a guardian of the weak and of the hopeless.
A warrior is a flint among the diamonds and kindles a fire in others’ hearts.
A warrior is more than a conqueror.
A warrior has chosen to lead.
A warrior has chosen to fight for what he believes.
A warrior has chosen to serve the poor.
A warrior has revealed his true heart to the world.
A warrior has shined his light into the darkness.
A warrior has shared the burdens of his fellows.
A warrior acknowledges that he is not perfect.
A warrior can forgive – both himself and his transgressors.
Because there is always hope, whether you choose to believe in it or not is your choice.
I am a warrior of God.
A warrior is not given in to the pedestals of pride.
A warrior is a guardian of the weak and of the hopeless.
A warrior is a flint among the diamonds and kindles a fire in others’ hearts.
A warrior is more than a conqueror.
A warrior has chosen to lead.
A warrior has chosen to fight for what he believes.
A warrior has chosen to serve the poor.
A warrior has revealed his true heart to the world.
A warrior has shined his light into the darkness.
A warrior has shared the burdens of his fellows.
A warrior acknowledges that he is not perfect.
A warrior can forgive – both himself and his transgressors.
Because there is always hope, whether you choose to believe in it or not is your choice.
I am a warrior of God.
I love this! It’s a different kind of poem than I’m used to, which is great! Thanks for sharing with us, and reminding us what we’re supposed to strive for! Keep writing!
It was originally only a few lines long with it saying “A warrior is not felled by one wound, nor daunted when there is little chance of survival because there is always hope, whether you choose to believe in it or not is your choice” and then I just kept adding to it! It’s now become a sort of personal motto! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
I’ll take up this motto with you! 😀
This is awesome. Like Emily said, it is different, but I really like the flow and style. Great job! Keep writing. 🙂
Thanks so much, Carolyn!
