Standing Strong

Strong-willed, am I,
No one can wear me down.
I hold my shield of faith in my steel grip,
and will not let my confidence be taken from me.

I hold my mighty sword
above my noble head,
--deflecting arrows that are meant to bring me down.
Bravely, I fend off whatever harm comes my way.

I am a warrior. I am strong. I am me.
Never will I bend to the evil will of others.

Wow, dear Michael, I just looked if along with the sword there were also wings ... there is such power in your words!

Very good job!

They say that words are mightier than a sword.

Well, m'dear AW ~ I believe that they are equally strong when it comes to your 'mightyness'!

Stand strong ~ and you'll never go wrong!

Great post!

With love,
EA

Artic Wind,

This is a very interesting poem and picture.  Somehow I never figured I had a noble head.  That's concept has somehow eluded me.  I’ve always pictured myself as a plebeian type.  Too much time in the street I guess.

Nice work.
