[Poem]

A child had arrived

In Valhalla's halls they began to play

The warriors stood shocked

Who is this child, what battle won, what monster did they slay to earn this stay?

Odin arrived, he was perplexed

So he asked the child, "How did you come to be in a Halls of Valhalla, what war did you win? What great battle fought?"

The child looked up and replied honestly "Well I never swung a sword, or shot a bow, but they say I fought a fearsome foe, they say I fought bravely and as long as I could, they named my foe cancer and I battled long and hard, but now I am here so I must have lost to this fearsome foe, maybe I don't belong at all..."

The child slumped looking so small,

Then, Odin did something none had ever seen,

He let forth a single tear

"No child, you did not lose, you fought more bravely and against a greater foe than anywhere, in fact from now on you sit by my side, for you see, you are the greatest of warriors here"

The hall erupted with cheers and toasts

"To the child, the greatest of warriors this Hall has seen!"
