A Warrior At Heart

By Bud Lemire on Aug 12, 2011

With our first handshake it was easy to see
This guy would be a good friend to me
His spiritual journey is similar to mine
A warrior at heart following his native line

His moods surfaced in the way he was feeling
Aches and pains all over while his body was healing
He joined in the fun in a game of dice
And was always open to some friendly advice

We shared in music and a trivial blast
Listening to TV Themes songs from the past
He loves his movies and collected quite a few
Sometimes we'd have a quiz on the actors he knew

An apartment decorated in Native American stuff
He'd pick up some more, because there was never enough
Recently I saw him dressed up for Starfleet
Battling the Klingons, he never gave in to defeat

All in all, he's a good friend to know
If we went through his pain, our feelings would show
The struggles he's had was only the start
For this brave man who is A Warrior At Heart


Tony, this one is for you. You've been through so much in your lifetime, and can still laugh. I treasure the friendship that we have since we met. I wish you peace as you travel down life's path to where you belong.
