Behold the beauty, behold the grace.
the lithe young body, the innocent face.
His words are softly spoken,
his eyes are easily read.
He openly relays his emotions
without a word ever being said.

He stand there alone
in a young warriors stance.
looking harsh yet vunerable
as he firmly grasps his lance.
He dares you to make a move
with a glint in his eye.
You feel his emotions building up
as he holds back his warriors cry.

Oh young warrior with the hard, sad eyes
young brave wishing to yell the war cries.
Alas life has been so hard on you,
to make you do the things you do.
One can see the pride in the way that you stand,
know how serious you are in the way you demand.

So young to be a warrior
so young to have dealt out pain;
to have fought to the bitter end
and to have felt deaths stain.

You've only seen sixteen years -
a man, yet but a child -
soft spoken and loving -
yet harsh and very wild -
young warrior.

Yet another amazing post...sheze child you're making me look bad! I really like this--like Janet mentioned, the wonderful imagery, and Beverly how it flows...you sure know how to make a dragon feel inferior!  

Keep it up!

Your poem took me back to the James Fenmore Cooper books I read as a child, Well done. Bill

Childomine,

It doesn't matter what topic you pen your thoughts on, as each one of your works is a masterpiece.
