Warrior Poet Wisdom Vol. II: Strength

M.D. A. Miro

Description

The second installment in the continuing series of Warrior Poet Wisdom.

Gone are the days of swords and shields, knights and paladins. But warriors still walk among us. Their strength and grace is as effective in dealing with today's challenges as it was in olden times. Their intensity and resolve can be applied to every task in our day to day lives, from work to working out. Their patience and focus are essential to living a stress-free life. Their courage and fortitude allow us to seek success and happiness, not simply wait for it as so many others do. Their selflessness and love reveals to us the greatest purpose in life: service to others. Their balance and peace ensures that nothing will ever shake any of our other virtues. All of these elements combine to form the greatest inspirational tool of all: wisdom.

Peace + strength + grace + intensity + resolve + patience + fortitude + selflessness + focus + balance + courage + love = wisdom

FOREWORD

Welcome back, warriors! You know the drill. One poem for every day of the month. If the month has more days than poems, those are extras. Be patient and work on them day by day. It’s a small step in re-training your mind, and small steps are always the most effective when taking on big goals. Always remember: Anything is possible with enough time and pressure.

Strength,

INTRO

Warrior’s Prayer

The common routine When one goes to pray Is to get down on knees And in one spot stay

Clasp hands together Keep eyes closed tight In an attempt To not see the plight

That may work just fine If you wish to give praise But most don’t give prayer Until darkest days

And when the storm comes I’ve found it works best To not just curl up And beg to be blessed

And that’s a main problem With people who follow If you beg for a break Then your prayers are just hollow

The point’s not to live The easiest life It’s to build up the strength To endure the strife

When hardships befall Don’t beg for an end Get up while you pray For the strength to transcend

Open your eyes As you ask for resolve And accept that motion Is the key to evolve

Although this concept

To a few may appall A prayer on your knees Will do no good at all

It’s been my experience When times are their worst The best start to prayer Is to get up first

One foot then the other Keep myself moving To God above And to myself proving

I’m not looking for lenience I’m not begging for pity I know parts of life Are not going to be pretty

I pray to the Father For strength added on To what’s already in me To my own employed brawn

Upgrade my power And my fortitude, raise Enhance my patience Amid all the craze

In the book of Isaiah Forty-one: ten “I will strengthen and help you” The Lord said, amen

But strength will not do you Much good at all If you’re hidden away Curled up in a ball

The warrior’s way Is to charge with no fear And the warrior’s prayer Is made in high gear
