Twenty Battles for Twenty Hearts
Waking from a sleep that seems much too short
Slowly stepping across the den floor in the dark
Stretching each muscle that is sore
Shaking the stiffness from each joint
The great war for the greatness in man
Always takes a lot out of him
Looking out from the opening of his den
How many dawns he needed to draw strength from to fight again
It's been twenty battles
For twenty hearts
Each one has been won somehow
Each one being a loving work of art
The war is now over
All battles have been fought
Twenty minds ablaze with all they've become
And not one forgot
Hearts
Minds
Spirits
Souls
Roaring loudly as they depart
Hearts
Minds
Spirits
Souls
Feeling unstoppable in their hearts
The impossible dream has been dreamt and done
The lion looks out at this new dawn.......
.......And roars loudly in the early morn

*This is for you guys, who yesterday got back the results of the state NRT reading and math tests. The class average was an "A" on BOTH.
Getting you to FEEL unstoppable was hard enough. Giving you the skills to actually BE unstoppable was a whole new level of effort.
I am tired. But I am happy.
