Just A Blacksmith

Like the swords I craft I was made to be strong,

Your melody and memories are played in my mind as a reminder of what was taken from me,

Stone by stone,

year by year,

Blood for blood I craft and wield my sword to protect those I love and care for,

But I am only a blacksmith,

I lead like a soldier,

I love like a father and friend,

My grief has only grown even more after losing more and more of those I love,

I stand in their blood,

I see the waning of man around me,

But like a soldier I draw my strength of vengeance to keep pushing and moving,

And yet I'm just a blacksmith,

Like the Ambers fading to grey so has my faith in man,

Like the burning of beauty and it being erased and not forgotten,

You will never be forgotten by me,

Even if I take my last breath I will fight for you,

You all see me as a hero,

You see me as wise,

You see me as a lord,

But I am just a blacksmith that has seen and done a lot more then I would like to admit,

I am your friend,

I am your brother,

I am your family by choice,

I am Just a Blacksmith.
