A Challenger, Challenging everything, because everything was a challenge. A goal was set, I continue to try to reach, do what I must to get there, to over look one small thing. And blow it all up. The plans, they’re building, higher and higher, higher they climb. The higher they climb the harder they fall. Fall, fall, falling they came down. Nothing left. Spartan was I, an old Spartan I am, My shield is still on, but my head is painted upon it. For I hold, I hold my ground until the very end. The very end I shall hold with my dying breath, I shall not waver, in strength, courage, spirit, truth, loyalty… What is loyalty? This question is asked when one can no longer trust his fellow man. I was a Spartan, my head upon my shield, and my shield up, as the rain of arrows and the trumpets of death may sound, I will not yield. A Bulldog, an ugly creature, short, stocky, yet ferocious in their fights, they show no emotion, and their loyalty, unquestioning. Their bite speaks louder than their bark. Now I’m here, I hear, Throw me a bone, put me in the ring, put up the lights, watch me fight. You see, for I am. A Challenger, reaching for the stars A Spartan, who held his ground. A Bulldog, waiting for his next order. These Are the Mascots of my life.

Mascots of My Life
A Challenger, Challenging everything, because everything was a challenge. A goal was set, I continue to try to reach, do what I must to get there, to over look one small thing. And blow it all up. The plans, they’re building, higher and higher, higher they climb. The higher they climb the harder they fall. Fall, fall, falling they came down. Nothing left. Spartan was I, an old Spartan I am, My shield is still on, but my head is painted upon it. For I hold, I hold my ground until the very end. The very end I shall hold with my dying breath, I shall not waver, in strength, courage, spirit, truth, loyalty… What is loyalty? This question is asked when one can no longer trust his fellow man. I was a Spartan, my head upon my shield, and my shield up, as the rain of arrows and the trumpets of death may sound, I will not yield. A Bulldog, an ugly creature, short, stocky, yet ferocious in their fights, they show no emotion, and their loyalty, unquestioning. Their bite speaks louder than their bark. Now I’m here, I hear, Throw me a bone, put me in the ring, put up the lights, watch me fight. You see, for I am. A Challenger, reaching for the stars A Spartan, who held his ground. A Bulldog, waiting for his next order. These Are the Mascots of my life.
