Above Embattled Mountains

Laugh now my sweet; rejoice in the calm
You can rest your troubled mind; your threadbare heart
A battle was fought before you
Pure kindness prevailed; a gift given to this world
You stood before a mountain of chaos; yet triumph was never a doubt
 
The scars will forever be a reminder; of strength and spirit
Against all doubt and odds
The purity of your love conquered; a simple truth
A body left broken; a resolve now unlike all others
Champion of a cherished place
 
A temptation of anger from deceit born before you
True courage in evading those feelings; bloodless wounds heal
Reckless self-indulgence took parts of you away; stole virtue by force
Yet you chose a better path; a way to forgive
Protector of pure thought and innocence
 
A foolish attempt at weakening your will; a fool most of all
You’ve always been better; and invariably must so be
This will not be your sole conflict; nor only victory
Lead us down the path of calmness
And remember to laugh
