My endeavor is <br />to walk <br />in amity with. <br />My fellow man. <br /> <br />I will strive to live <br />in harmony with all. <br />In peace as gentle <br />as a summer’s breeze. <br /> <br />My presence <br />is to instill that calm <br />not unlike the stillness. <br />Of sheltered waters. <br /> <br />To those who know fear <br />I shall be a shield. <br />They may walk safely <br />in my shadow. <br /> <br />Until transgression <br />rears and threatens. <br />My weapons <br />shall remain sheathed. <br /> <br />To my Lord <br />and his laws. <br />My pledge <br />is my loyalty. <br /> <br />I shall protect <br />his properties <br />and of his tenants. <br />As my own. <br /> <br />My love and my faith <br />shall know no depth. <br />My heart <br />shall be open and pure. <br /> <br />Against any transgressors. <br />My retaliation <br />shall be that magnitude <br />of the fiercest storm. <br /> <br />They shall cower <br />to my tenacity <br />and be dispatched. <br />Or struck down. <br /> <br />If you come without malice <br />fear not my sword. <br />Betray me <br />and to my anger. <br /> <br />The lion <br />shall be as a lamb. <br />Tempest <br />that of a zephyr.<br /><br />Kurt Hearth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-warrior-s-vow/
