Once in a time when struggles existed, <br />when trials were many, and evil persisted, <br />there came a great fight, in the dark of the night <br /> <br />and in destiny's eyes <br />the hero did rise! <br /> <br />Surrounded with hope, and cloaked with the Spirit <br />he stood in the darkness and, lo, did not fear it; <br />With demons beguiling, and Lucifer smiling, <br /> <br />against his demise <br />the hero did rise! <br /> <br />With loss in his heart, and blows to his soul <br />the vicious assault was beyond his control. <br />Yet, strong did he stand, upheld by God's hand <br /> <br />and despite their vain tries <br />the hero did rise! <br /> <br />The king of all demons, in undaunted measures, <br />lusted to seal him as unto his pleasures. <br />But he was resisting, and also persisting <br /> <br />in fighting the lies; <br />as the hero did rise! <br /> <br />Too strong for the devil, he overcame death <br />and screamed through the darkness with fiery breath: <br />'You can not defeat me! Nor hope to retreat me! <br /> <br />Your eminence dies! ' <br />....The hero did rise!<br /><br />Chris Schleier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-hero-did-rise/
