The time has come to stand tall <br />To face the world and the pain <br />To become the instructor and protector <br />A sacrifice must be made. <br /> <br />The Ancient one had again arisen <br />And taken human form <br />To truly help those she believes in <br />Her only ties to them could be as a friend. <br /> <br />She would this time not give her heart <br />Her strength would not hold if she did <br />Her power lay in giving, she would no longer take <br />Her blessings would be felt by many. <br /> <br />Most who are touched by her <br />Will at last achieve their desires. <br />They will find their paths <br />And strengthen this world as well.<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/instructor-and-protector/
