Not everyone will feel the need to heed the call

To be a warrior of light this is not known by all

Each and everyone of us are here to play a role

Both for those around us and to help our lives be full

If deep down you realize and the message is clear

That you are not a warrior, the call you do not hear

That is perfectly all right, the world has it's needs

Find a way to help with that and you'll surely succeed

Maybe instead of all that you feel you are called

To be the great teacher who is respected by all

Or the great entertainer, or whatever you will

All are free to choose the way of making life fulfilled

So if you look deep within enough that you can learn

All about your life's purpose and truth there to discern

You'll know if you're a warrior and if you should prepare

For a life of service as a warrior everywhere

And especially if your role is entering the fight

Preparing to take your place as a warrior of light

If deep down you realize this is the task for you

Just keep reading and see which of all these things ring true

Each person will know within if this will be their quest

The way will be challenging, each task will have a test

One of the first things to know when starting down this road

Is the conflict that's within can be a heavy load

Often warriors find that when they go throughout a day

Others follow closely feeling it's safer that way

Sometimes life can be a fight as life goes speeding by

There are some days you'll wonder if you should even try

Unknown disturbing voices from outside us they come

It's easy to figure out where these voices come from

This destabilizes us, causes anger and fear

Psychological warfare is what we're seeing here

All throughout the ages those who were warriors of light

Dealt with this warfare daily, as much as any fight

And if you think about it, this makes sense, seems to fit

Since warriors and rescuers will be the first ones hit

It also comes form people, the ones who are close by

Trying to divert us and causing us to not try

We all need some shielding, and we have learned to block

By utilizing angles throughout life's daily walk

How can this be accomplished? One answer is to read

Romans chapter thirteen and verse twelve will fill the need

One way we can do this is to every morning think

Of the light that is within and know there is a link

Between us and the one who is the source of all light

As well as all goodness and the source of all that's right

This is the place we should turn when that light has gone out

When the challenges add up and hope has turned to doubt

If that is where we're grounded, our future can look bright

As we try to play the role of a warrior of light

hopefully general discussion is the place for this. I wanted to put this in here where it would be helpful for all
