Battlefield - Visitor's Poem

by Bernadette Pallen
(California, USA)

On the peregrination to success,
I will never forget your name and face.
You looked past my weaknesses and mistakes
and found my armor and shield
in the midst of this battlefield.

This pivotal battle
will always contain significant parables;
Deserts and forests
Mountains and valleys
Heroes and characters
Vaults and treasures.

Memories and friendship
will always remain protected
inside the helmet and its breastplate
during each sunrise and sunset.

Future, present, history.
A smile will appear
each time I reminisce
and I will thankfully say aloud:
To all those who believed in me; Victory!
