Sweet Warrior

Sweet Warrior

Although you didn’t realize it

I heard you cry, I know of your pain

And while it may be hard to believe

I, too, have felt the shame

Every blow he has dealt you

I have felt before

And while you may think

You can take no more

Please know that you

Are stronger than steel

Even when you are crying

No matter what you may feel

His attempt to destroy the light

Within your heart

Has failed miserably every time

Of that there is no doubt

I know you feel alone

Because once I did too

He leaves his weakness

On your face...a bruise

I want you to understand

I need you to see

How much you are loved

Starting with me

I love your strength

And the resolve on your face

I love the fact that

He can’t keep up with your pace

I adore the reminder that with you

God always smiles

And even if it feels like

You haven’t seen it in a while

The power behind your smile

In spite of the ongoing pain

Always brings out your sunshine

When he only wants to see rain

The sparkle in which

Your eyes always show

Is a constant reminder

Of the love you now know

God loves you sweet warrior

Never doubt that fact

I know you feel alone

But no matter where you are at

You are being divinely watched over

And his cowardly deeds

Will soon be repaid

With God’s wrath...a fact he should heed

Please hold on to this notion

That you are not alone

And you grow stronger

With every punch that is thrown

And while I will ask you

To please find away

To muster up your strength

And quickly walk away

Until you are able to break free

Know that you aren’t the only one

And God is watching over you

And His will...soon shall be done
