Here there be dragons, my friend:
Guardians of ideals few dare live by,
Careful tenders of hearty community,
Talons at the ready to slash status quo
And equally ready to hold life tenderly,
Hearts full of care for the whole wide world.

Here there be dragons, my friend:
Scales impregnable to random barbs,
Flawed and fabulous, ordinarily extraordinary
Heroes with wings to fly over fears,
Touching hallowed heights of compassion,
Inspiring intimates to join their flight.
–
Here there be dragons, dear child,
Building a new nest of hope now the time feels ripe,
Maternal and paternal skills honed over a lifetime
Focused into treasuring a new wee you,
Eager to see you grow, spread your wings,
Find your voice to roar love for the whole wide world.
