This is for Charisma who gave me the inspiration and the courage to write it, thank you!

Warriors against heart pain holding back the night
Using pen and paper to consecrate our fight
Every battle's victory painted in our write
As wings and hands united, get ready to take flight

Warriors fighting bravely on, living everyday
Rewriting our confusion, to partake in the fray
Armored with our pen as sword, fighting as we may
To give to others hope, that victory's on its way

Battled veterans carry on, with the banner high
Writing out both pain and love, speaking to the sky
Drinking from the font of hope until the well runs dry
Taking all life has to give, until breath's final sigh

Armored knights with steeds of ink, rising up to lift
The spirits of the watchers, to heal and seal the rift
Taking pen in hand and using pain, to fight against the drift
Write it out in everyway winning is the gift

Warriors rise up again, take your pen as swords
Use them as weapons for encouraging, are your words
Lift your writing to the air for great are your rewards
Warriors, oh warriors, write free and fly as birds.

Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.  Patty Hansen.

Oh yes! Freedom from writing makes one soar above all our cares!
Great write.

Thanks everyone.
To my friends who have provided ongoing support I offer my heart, to those who need encouragement I offer my writing, to those I do not know I offer my hand in friendship.
Be well
