DRAGON HEART



God granted to man a heart with might 
much greater than its size.
The gift of vigor, both broad and deep—
gives man the strength to rise.


For none can face a dragon
and not draw upon this well
of power and courage and fortitude
to pound the gates of Hell.


Dragon hunters are a fearsome lot--
limitations they must shun.

They draw a line, and stand toe to toe,
when instinct shouts at them to run.


With broad sword or spear or hacking axe
they wade in with gusto and ire.

Their small scale 'gainst towering foe
helps avoid the dragon’s fire.
