Armoured again the weight of which these battle weary bones ache too old to sustain this defense. The battle ax too heavy to lift let alone swing high over head Gleaming sword sheathed to hilt, would now steady worn warrior's sway and faltering step staggering under chain maille's metal weave. The time has come by the time that's passed, to battle no more. I must bare my flesh unprotected from slinging barbs and arrows. 3/11/13 |

When you've done what you can do to no avail, and weary is the body, nothing is left except take what is meted out to you. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways . . . ~*~ |

Yes, that is true, but I must admit I was hoping to spend some time resting on my laurels. Thanks Jerry lori:0) |

Nicely penned Lori...I enjoyed the old medieval theme and the surrendering unto thyself ending. ~Victoria I was adored once too. |

I think there comes a time when we are just battle weary, Lori. You said it so well. Ida |
