The Story of Warriors

    This is the story of warriors
    Not those that fight with Armor and arrows (but)
    Those that strive with their hearts
    Flowing like a stream with hearts of gold
    Glowing around the galaxy in magnificent chaos.

    This is a story, bitter and sour,
    Wrapped in a shell of sparkling dreams
    With promises, towing in range
    Like a tugboat to be fulfilled
    A promise to reveal the way.

    To guide conduct
    And pass on knowledge
    This is the story of light
    That gave us all a bright solid foundation
    Helping us grow and outshine the past.

    And made us who we are today.
    This is the story of our sparkling warriors
    The echelon of stars
    Endurance and resilience
    The springs of hope
    Oceans of knowledge

    Today we celebrate you
    For showing care of a mother
    And strictness of a father
    And everything to be precise.
    You work for more and more hours
    For less and less pay.

    In your smiles we find solace
    In your eyes the sparking of stars
    And your voices the cuteness of courage
    For you construct
    Softness out of stones
    Brilliance out of brains
    And heroes out of men.

    Oh I see a galaxy today
    Of stars shining
    Of the moon glowing
    Of sparkling dreams wrapped in a shell
    Of craft made with love
    To reshape and inspire youth to bounce
    Back to the future through breaking barriers.

    It is time to show the power of your voices
    Your courage
    And the magic you hold within your smiles
    That made a child see beyond a teacher
    But a mentor
    An inspiration beyond all measures
    Sweet like melodies of the poems
    You sang on the playground. 

    Today is the day, the time
    To stand still and call for the universe to rise
    And speak for change.
