It's Hard, But ...

It's Hard, But......

It's hard to slay the dragon when the dragon won't stand still
It's hard to hear the wizard when the wind is blowing shrill
It's hard to wear the armor when the sun is beating down
It's hard to live what is a life when the feet won't touch the ground.

The dragon masquerades in shapes that might possess a charm
And not always is the fire he breathes cause of greatest harm.
But if you stay keen of eye, sharp of mind and strong of will
Though hard it be you can slay the beast when the dragon won't stand still.

The wizard is always close at hand though you may not be aware
That what is said for you to hear lingers in the air.
So stand with much attention to what the ear does feel
And you can hear the wizard when the wind is blowing shrill.

The armor that protects you from the arrows and the slings
Need not be of finest steel but stronger than woolen strings
And if you are always near where shadows can be found
Then you can wear the armor when the sun is beating down.

And always keep in the mind of you when time is crawling by
There's no way to hold yourself within the air or sky.
So make sure that the you, you know is standing strong and sound
And you will always live your life with feet upon the ground.
