It takes a special person to be a warrior.
On December 1st 2006 over 13 years ago.
I wound up in the hospital if trying to commit suicide with a hundred middle stitches.
There was a young guy at the launch the one day I think he was a gang banger.
He saw the stitches especially the ones in my neck.
That's when he called me a warrior.
Thanks,
Doctor Ricky 1024

Your poem is well-written, moving, and uplifting--encouraging the young
to stay strong and steady, like soldiers. The part that stands out the most to me is about emotions--not letting them completely rule decisions.

I like a battle hymn, decidedly different from the norm. I have no idea about whom this superb work is addressed, but this would be toward one's child or some such, would be my guess. Beautifully written, with those lovely nuanced lyrical overtones. A nice even rhythm to it, with no definite meter and you classic aabb rhyme, well dine, blessings, Roy

    Dear Roy,

    Thank you so much for your encouraging review and for your good input. I was working with young people and I received this and I saw the need for them to take a stand in their lives.

Even with good intentions, it is so easy to stumble. This is a positive posting with a strong message to look upward into the light and listen to the Spirit's guidance deep withing our souls. A golden shore awaits....

    Thank you for your encouragement. I like your term, "Poet from the North". Perhaps I should adopt it! Thanks for your encouragement to keep writing, as it can be a challenge sometimes just to apply myself.

I enjoyed the sentiments here, the warrior who has a blue print of bravery, if your lines had a united syllable count it would improve the flow, love Dolly x

I like Norse legends and tales, I know that Icelandic is still very much like the old Norse-I studied languages and the history of language at University-it fascinates me. I studies Old and Middle High German, I loved it. I like your call to have spirit to the warrior-good lesson in life for all of us. Excellent rhyming-one thing, passed is a very, you need preposition -past the stars. Most enjoyable. faye

Catching hold of the imagination right away
Uplifting to the mind
Motivational to bot just those entering into who they could be but also those coming out of a blue/sadness funk.
Thank you.

This is a very nice poem of the Warrior's Creed
Told in a rhymed poem of quatrains
Separated by a very good couplet
Dreams set passed the stars
with a future of endless possibilities
Groomed to be the light
Standing strong in the spirit
But the journey is yet to be taken
and the future is always untold
This poem reads very well
Excellent
