It is a time of darkness
A time of battles
Of good vs. evil
A time that dragons still roamed the earth

The dragons plagued the people
Nowhere was safe
Nowhere to run
Everybody lived in fear
And didn't know what to do

Then a peasant boy strolled into town
In the middle of a dragon attack
All the peasant boy did
Was grab some stones
And use his sling shot

The stone flew through the air
And hit one dragon
And then all was heard was
One big thud

The other dragons attacking the people
Turned their attention to the peasant boy
The people ran indoors
And one by one
They heard big thuds

When the peasant boy said "it was all clear."
The people of the town
Came out and could only stare
There on the ground lie 3 dead dragons
And the peasant boy just standing
In the road
With his sling shot in hand

They thought, "How did he do this?
With divine intervention?"
The peasant boy just stood there smiling
And said, "I was just in town and thought I'd help."
The towns people cheered for their hero
And to this day
The peasant boy lives in town
Protecting it from dragons

Cold hands means a warm heart

Sounds like me.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

(smiles) It seems the unlikely heroes always seem to make the biggest round of applause, I too admire it when ordinary people do such wonderful things for the community! (big hugggsssssss) This is wonderfully mighty, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
