Dear warrior, this is for you.

24 7 7
                                    


Dear warrior,
I see that you have fallen,   
fallen again for the seventh time,       
you've come a long way,         
plodded along a rocky road,         
I know that you're tired,       
on the other side persistence
is all you desire,             
Hold on to the mahogany hope,      
celebrate the brevity of life,           
lessons of each fall will ricochet 
and you must rise up again for the uphill battle
because, dear warrior,  
History will be written on the eighth try,       
on the eighth tile, 
when a pawn becomes a queen.
