It s More Than Skill

A cycle of poems «I Trust Tempered Steel»

In the heart of the battle, where the shadows collide, 
A warrior rises, with honor as his guide. 
Through the storm and the chaos, he stands tall and strong, 
With a fire in his spirit, he knows where he belongs. 

It's more than skill, it's the courage inside, 
The will to keep fighting, the strength to abide. 
With every scar earned, and every tear spilled, 
He knows in his soul, it’s more than just skill. 

With a sword in his hand and a dream in his chest, 
He faces the darkness, never seeking rest. 
For the ones that he loves, for the land that he swore, 
He’ll battle the demons, he’ll settle the score. 

It's more than skill, it’s the heart of a lion, 
The roar of conviction when the world is defying. 
Through the pain and the struggle, his spirit is thrilled, 
He fights for a cause; it’s more than just skill. 

When the night falls heavy and hope starts to fade, 
He remembers the promise that he bravely made. 
For every fallen brother, for every lost friend, 
He’ll carry their memory until the very end. 

It's more than skill, it’s the bond that we share, 
The love that unites us, a flame we all bear. 
With each clash of steel and each moment fulfilled, 
He knows in his heart, it’s more than just skill. 

So here’s to the warriors who fight through the night, 
With passion and purpose, they shine like a light. 
For in every great battle, one truth is instilled: 
It’s not just about winning; it’s more than just skill.
