Sometimes things just aren't right with the world. Everything becomes unbalanced, and those of us teetering on the edge are bound to fall off. But if we are strong, and quick enough to reach out before we slip away, someone will clasp our hand into their own. A soul with the heart of a lion will pull us to safety, and it will stand guard over us until we have sure footing.
In my lifetime, I have played on both sides of fates game. I have felt the weakness of being the worlds victim, and I have felt the magnetic power of standing as tall and as hard as that guardian lion.
My eyes have cried over the loss of a soul with a heart that beat more poweful then any other that I have ever known. And for her sake, I will never allow myself to teeter off that edge ever again. After witnessing the pure rage of her fight against a monster hell bent on her destruction, I have learned what it takes to rise beyond the expectations of all of those around me. I have learned from her what it means to live. To battle against all odds, and never ever give in. I have learned from her that our hearts and our minds are the most poweful weapons that we possess, and that absolutely nothing can stop us as longs as our will is against it.
My heart aches over her loss, but it beats on just the same. Just the same as hers, every single day that she fought. I will forever be grateful for what I've learned from her, and she will forever remain a part of my world.
