Spirit of the dauntless hawk
Honor known by the mythical knight
Wisdom respected by the old
Ever willing to fight the good fight.
Altruistic motives driving action
Openness possessed only by the young
Independence like a stoic leader
Willingness to climb higher rung by rung.
Phenomena true religions preach
Bring the humble person proudly to their knees
Uncommon virtues great spirits teach
Aspired to by the great are such rarities.
Modesty forcing the conceited to shame
Emotion felt in the presence of love
Marked by humor witty, rich, and creative
Gentleness describing the peaceful dove.
Sharp like the metaphoric steel blade
Possessing uncommon passion and zeal
Power to act on behalf of right
Courage to feel what’s authentic and real.
Phenomena true religions preach
Bring the humble person proudly to their knees
Uncommon virtues great spirits teach
Aspired to by the great are such rarities.
