My Favorite Poem Of The Month

This is one of my personal favorites. This poem is from the book I am reading called "The Legend Of  Luke". "The Tale of Redwall" by: Brian Jacques

                             A poem about justice, courage and bravery 
  
The young must grow old ,
Whilst old ones grow older,
And cowards will shrink, 
As the bold grow bolder.
Courage may blossom in quite hearts,
For who can tell where bravery starts?
Truth is a song, oft lying unsung,
Some mother bird, protecting her young, 
Those who lay down their lives for friends,
The echo rolls onward, it seldom ends.
Who never turned and ran, but stayed?
This is a warrior born, not made!
Living in peace , aye many a season,
Calm in life and sound in reason,
'Til evil arrives, a wicked horde,
Driving a warrior to pick up his sword,
The challenger rings then, straight and fair,
Justice is with us, beware. Beware!
