[bodytext] => My grandfathers Sword My first sword Was given to me by my father They is my father he said to me And when my time comes it will be me This is your sword son he said This is the sword of your family Carry it well and with pride Do not sheave this sword For it will never shed your blood But the blade is sharp and can kill It is not a false edge It has protected me your mother and you It will forever serve this family As a samurai duty in life It is our duty To serve Bushido The Way I lost my arm in battle But still put my lord before my self I took many blades for him I protected him and all those around me I am no hero for this is my duty This is bushido I meditate hours a day And at time I am given my arm back But I am still a warrior I can still kill Shintoism I will always honor my fathers before me I will always serve my lord I am a patriot and I love my country I love my lord and those before him 4 decades I have served my country And still it finds ways for me to serve [comments] => 2 [counter] => 142 [topic] => 62 [informant] => Doriens_Picture [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )
