When all the world shall fall on you
Your steadfast faith will see you through
And when the skies give naught but rain
The friends by your side will help ease the pain
When dragons and demons and enemies shall shout
It will be my endless love that will find you out.
A warrior walks, separate not alone
He must have space, his skills to hone
Though injured in his line of work
The call to arms he cannot shirk
Recovered from the felling blow
The warrior knew twas time to go
He packed and travelled, headed to
A place of great challenge, a struggle new
Our Knight, he was a fighter at heart
Impressing companions from the start
And where he went to learn new skill
There waited a Brotherhood of iron will
Founded on kinship, sealed as if by blood
Their wills as one, a striving flood.
Back in the fight, with these Brothers new
The young knight learned what to do
A Christian man with faith in God
He walked the path great Brothers had trod
A diamond rough, put to the grind
Sound of character and of mind
Beloved of the Brothers, and of others before
The Warrior was pure, down to his core.
But wounds sometimes but pretend to heal
And the strongest and best of us was made to kneel
His life is different, barely hanging on
No one knows if this Warrior will live to see dawn
The thing about Brotherhood, about battle and strife
Is that bonds that are born last all your life
When striving together, blood, sweat, and tears
Create such a bond that otherwise would take years
The Brothers arise, warriors of battle and also of prayer
Telling sweet Warrior and his family, they are there
The thing about warriors, is that for you they’ll ****
But they’ll also pray with all the might of their will
Dear God, take our strength, please unite us as one
Grant our power to Will, until he has won
If it be in Your will, if now be his time
Then take him, Lord, and leave us behind
But we beseech you, as Brothers we kneel,
That you might touch Will, his injuries to heal.
We hurt while he hurts, as family should
Because will is a part of this eternal BROTHERHOOD
We love you forever, and we beg you again
Heal our good Brother, in your name, Amen.
My brother, my teammate, was hospitalized after a freak brain injury at football practice. He passed away within a week. I wrote this two days before he passed, and it moved a lot of people. God gave me the gift to write, and he gave me these words.
Within the castle, past gates and walls
Lying in the middle of a maze
There is a treasure which whispers calls
To all who dare risk darkness’ haze
The treasure thrives in dark and shade
Preferring always the comfort of the keep
Safely hidden from the blade
Of false hope, which cuts so deep
Brave souls dare to try the gate
And few are they which pass its lock
Fewer still can bear the weight
Of walking that great maze of rock
But the lucky adventurer may
Reach the sanctum of the prize
And choose to in the darkness stay
Falling through the treasure’s eyes.
Written for a certain young woman I am interested in.
Tell me, have you ever been kissed in the rain
Ever loves so much that it wracks you with pain
Have you seen the sun rising, or watched as it set
Did you know they were perfect the moment you met
Have you looked into eyes, and seen naught but love
Thanked God for the blessings rained down from above
Have you lost someone special, a person held dear
When you’re alone and it’s dark do you wish they were near
Tell me of the memories, each second that passed
Of times you took first, and times you came last
Did you ever hold someone close, and whisper low
I love you forever and I won’t let go
Have you known you were wrong, and tried to make it right
The anguish of which won’t let you sleep at night
Do you miss what you had, are you mad you let go
Have you ever considered letting everyone know
Have you lost all you held, your home and your friends
Tell me, do you pray that your pains find their ends
I’ve known the top of the mountain, I’ve known the fall
I will always love you, my everything, my all.
