UNRAVELING

You are NOT a Knight in Shining Armour

Formidable, confident and self-assured
This was their stance!
They were charged to do battle
According to rank and file they stood!
Imposing in height, ready to fight!
They are warriors.

On the first Wednesday of the year
I hear the word Warrior
Wondering to myself, "how e take consign me"
I am not tall, not built, not physically imposing and maybe the same applies to you.

But;

You are Warrior
You are no stranger to darkness
You have survived the worst of times
You have fought battles both without and within
You have marched through enemy lines
Dodging bullets aimed at your mind to get to destiny.
Your wounds have given you wisdom
You have scars to prove you fought and you won

So this is our creed;
We will fight to keep what has been given us!
We will not lose heart!
We will win the battles in our mind and on the outside!
We will be strong and immovable!
We will obey our Master's call!
We will not be distracted!
We are not immune to fear but fight in spite of it!
We won't quit!
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of Strongholds.

This is just a start!
Improve on your creed, makeup yours!
You are bold, you are courageous!
Irrelevant of your size, age, background or colour.
You are Warrior
You are not a Knight in shining armour!
Your armour has been used over and over again.
This is not a playground, this is a battleground!
So get up and fight!
