A smiling soul
beautiful and fragile,
is like a flower in spring.
Strong and resilient,
like a carefully fashioned weapon.
Thus,
A warrior's sadness,
that finds the soul in darkness -
is a song of strength.
Never of despair.
Life is a sadness.
But we must live in gladness.
And fight to overcome
the fighting and the overcoming.
That in the summer
we may rest.
