Karate Kid ... In the 80s, a story began, of a boy who learned to fight like a man, with a wise sensei ... poem by Stefano Donno

In the 80s, a story began,

Of a boy who learned to fight like a man,

With a wise sensei, he learned the way,

Of karate, to triumph every day.

From LA to Okinawa's shore,

Daniel-san faced his fears and more,

Against foes who wished to see him fail,

He persevered, his spirit did prevail.

Miyagi's teachings, a fatherly guide,

For Daniel-san, he'd always provide,

Lessons of balance, focus, and strength,

To help him stand up, no matter the length.

In Japan, he faced a new test,

Against an enemy, Miyagi knew best,

Daniel-san showed his heart and might,

With his karate, he fought for what was right.

Back in the States, the battle still raged,

Against a rival, who seemed enraged,

But Daniel-san, with his spirit and skill,

Rose to the challenge, with a steadfast will.

Karate Kid, a tale of honor and pride,

With heart and soul, it stood the test of time,

For in the end, it taught us all,

That with perseverance, we can stand tall..
