A halo of light, leads the way
A path to follow, every day
Years ago, encrypted in stone
That those of this, walk alone

A different faith, a different life
Diverse hope, look through my eyes
See how it is, see how it has been
Do you understand, we can never win?

Motivated by the past, driven forward by the future
As time goes, the light dims, but not forgotten before.
How each time, darkness, before a reign of light.
Learning to adapt, changing for different times

A sliver of life, drop of hope sends us on
Hate of being different, from it evil spawns
When life pushes us pitfalls
Still we rise to brethrens calls

Supporting each other, through the times of despair
Even instead of happiness there’s nothing but fear
If those ones who spit on us, our lifestyle, needs help
Even how they wronged, we’ll offer aid so, all can be well

The rules we follow, great gifts bestowed
From who we worship, a warrior’s code,
Lines in our script, the world is our play
We walk a fine line, the warriors’ way

We are protectors, fighting for what we believe
Then there are the people, who live in peace,
Even so different, we are one and same
In that inside of us, we harbor a Flame

We sure are led by the light, and welcome the support of our brethren.  I'd guess that flame inside is our drive or will to live.

God bless

rhia_5779,

  W E L C O M E  

YAY!!! Though you don't get as much critique or response here as you do there, I'm so happy to see that you jumped over from "Teen" and chose to post this one for us to read. Besides what was written in the other forum, let me add that I'm much amazed how much content you have to offer as a young author. Content that seems to me to be past your years, well, at least past my years when I was your age. Smiles. What I liked best about this poem are your references to life and to light and I also really liked how you brought us all together at the end. We do all indeed have a Flame...

...and I hope that you continue to let yours Shine.

Good job.

-Bob
