In days of yore, in a land of old,
St. George rode forth, valiant and bold.
A dragon fierce, with fiery breath,
Threatened the kingdom with fear and death.
With lance in hand, armour shining head to toe,
He faced the beast, a most terrifying foe.
Neither fear nor doubt could diminish his soul,
For to serve and liberate was his noble goal.
The dragon roared with rage and ire,
But St. George pressed on, his spirit afire.
With a mighty blow, he struck the beast.
Killing it, he heralding a celebration feast.
In our lives, we face our dragons too,
Fear, doubt, and anxiety can pursue.
We wield our own sword of courage and hope,
Vanquishing our demons; victory within our scope.
Let us march forth with confidence high,
Then our monsters we can defy.
For though to sainthood we may not aspire,
We can slay our doubt and achieve our heart’s desire.
