Level Up

I sit here in my new home,

Far away from what is familiar

Yet so close to what I once knew.

I traveled far in my adventure,

Fought many monsters on the way.

There were times I didn't think I was strong enough

Times I thought I would surely fall

But my sword and shield held together

No matter what enemy I faced.

My sword, forged by God, kept the foes at bay.

While my shield, my Savior, kept me safe all day.

And as I traveled along that road

Searching for the end of my quest.

Never once giving up or trying to seek rest.

Now I sit, in the sun, looking out at the road

Wondering what the next step is

And what the next quest will bring.

For you see, I have leveled up.

As a character I have grown.

So it's time to learn my new skills,

And figure out where I go from here.
