The Warrior

By Dark_Specter

Does he fight for me, does he fight to protect me
or does he fight because someone must.
is this what he wanted, to sacrifice his life
for others, to stop doing his real job.
he goes away for weeks at a time.
he teaches me things i will never forget.
He is strong and fit and he is willing to fight.
a present day hero we call him a man who wont stop.
But will he leave me someday will he leave for War
and fail or will he leave and rise to his greatest
to show everyone why he fights, why he is so invulnarable.
He will never leave us his strengths and lifes Precious moments will always live on in us his children.




Thanks dad for being You. DS
