Samurai

A Poem by James Takeo Panton

 

I am one that has come to serve
With my honour and my valour
My loyalty is true and simple
I pass each day in noble effort
To perform my duty unwaveringly
I will not dishonour those that I may serve
Out of love and respect for those I am chosen by
My weapons shall be wielded, true and strong
My own desires must I maintain
Keep in check to those above me
Respect that which I hold most dear
Pride in my actions and deeds and efforts
Will I steadily keep
I shall strive to exist each day
At one with all things, terrible and beautiful
And have no fear of death or time’s passing
And live each moment, as though it were my last
And take not even the simplest things for granted
