You helped slay my dragons
as they rained fire upon me
as he breathed temptation
I was able to break free
You reminded me dear friend
I have the power to understand
to defeat these fiery dragons
when they get out of hand
I remembered that only God
has control of my destiny
all I need do is pray
from these dragons I'd be free
My friend you were the sword
placed in my hand tonight
you helped turn my darkness
into the sun shining bright
Yes God and dear friends
such a winning combination
I have found both in my life
to help me with my Salvation
So dragons begone from me
you are not welcome anymore
I have Jesus Christ in my heart
Satan can not hurt me anymore

hey,
this is actually a really cool write, you're keeping it fairly simple but delivering a poewrful message effectively, thats the sign of a decent writer, not a flawed one
it definitly paints the picture through words, and that will always help keep the readers focus and interest in what you have to say. though i must say it feels weird to be reading a good poem witha religious backbone, as an atheist i dnt really see a need to impulse the reader with thoughts of religion, even they are your own views, to which you are mightily entitled.
i'll definitly be back to check out some more stuff of yours when i get 10 minutes
keep it up

Ah thank you . I so appreciate your wonderful comment. I actually wrote this in response to a poem Michael (who is stationed in Iraq) wrote for me when I couldn't sleep the other night and was rather down. He cheered me and wrote a poem about Friends and Dragons. So this was my answer to it. Thank you again for the lovely comment. God Bless and take care, Sandy

Wow.
You take a typical inspirational story..and you turn it into this uncliched fantasy, that appeals to people of all ages. I'm amazed with that talent! It seems as if you take time to pick and chose each word as you go along, and many don't take that time on their poetry anymore.

i'm not even in the honorable mentions? 
and I was going to ask you if I'm the dragon or the knight? Great poem, it is a great feeling to feel free from Satan. I've yet to reach that point but I know I will get there eventually.

Inspration Writing!
I love dragon poems and this one was really great and written so well, sometimes it does take friend and the help of God to slay the dragons in our lives. Your use of imagery and metaphors were awesome and simply breathtaking. I've read Arsenic's poem 'Friends And Dragons' and I see how his poem inspired you, it was an awesome write and God inspired.

This was a really good piece! The art work was great. I liked the metaphor of the dragon a lot. Keep writing!
-
I really liked this piece because you talk about how the only ones who can save you is God and your friends... that's awesome!
-
Only you have control of your destiny. It was you all along. Not god and not satan.

"So dragons begone from me
you are not welcome anymore
I have Jesus Christ in my heart
Satan can not hurt me anymore"
Wow!! That last lines is so...strong, it really resounds, and leaves you so..pure. But then at the same time...dirty, becuase its like...you did it..but did i? Its really quite indescribable! Sometimes, the hardest evil to fight, is within you all along.
Love this poem, and good for you, God is great, and Im glad he got through to you. Awesome write, its very inspirational!
-
This is a very beautiful and moving poem!!! I very much enjoyed reading it and thought the metaphors very good!!! Also, the picture goes very well with the poem=) I love reading deep, spiritual, personal poems like this one and I thought this was excellent! Wonderful write!
-
I absaloutly love the picture. However, I don't really like the poem itself. It had good rythem, and flows nicely. But, I don't like the dragons slain, and god reffered to constantly. But, I know, this is a matter of opinion. Otherwise, the idea was great, paying tribute to your friends and your god. So, all in all, (If you rule out my opinion,and if I were you, I would do so) It was a wonderful poem.
-
Aww, I love dragons...~sniffle~ But that's okay, because this poem was incredible. I'm not religious myself and tend to shy away from poems that are, but I found this one really enlightening.
You use incredible imagery and simple phrases that have a big impact. I may like dragons, but I love this poem. Very well written

This is really good, I love how you thanked your friend for helping you remember you are stronger!
-
i liked the metphors you used in here a lot, you have a wonderful sense of imagery in this piece, keep up the great owrk, bye for now
-
I can't say that we share the same feelings and thoughts on religion, however I can say that I am very proud to see you have such a strong and welcoming faith in your heart. You seem to be very pure and trusting of what you believe, and the deity to which you pray. More power to you for that. This poem was a wonderful piece of art that has shown me this, and it is something that should be treasured by you forever. You have compiled great imagery and feeling to make this a truly spectacular monument in your life. Congratulations on that!
Best of wishes to you!

Very, very sweet and pretty. I love how you used the whole dragon/knight thing. That just made it gorgeous. Lovely write.

God is the strength...
A great write of hope and trust in god. A simple in words..but deep in effect. This is the seed of the hope and pleasure. The thoughts are just sacred and becoming the light of the god for us too. It is really a pleasant write giving a personnel touch of the satisfaction and peace of mind. The flow of the write is the srtrength of this write. A beautifull work. I really respect this write with reverence ..prabhudayal khattar -
Forgot to mention that I did love the poem, and the picture is wonderful! Check for a typo on line 3. I liked the second stanza the best...it spoke volumes to me. Warm regards, Michael.

Okay...I'm getting emotional and I don't like that. Let's just say I am very touched by this and think you deeply for taking the time to put it down in poetic words. It is not often that we find out we have made a small impression on someones life...I'm glad to have been used by God in the way. You truely are blessed my friend...and in that I find myself uplifted. Somehow I sense there's a life lesson in all of this, if one cared to look. Michael.
