"Part III - To Be a Knight"

cji
3/l7/99

Verse 1
********

Now as growth is seen within
and never measured without
a knight shows not their armor
or even the expected emotion
expanded by time nor place;
for the truth to the quest the goal.

Verse 2
********

To take the risks of losing a friend
is never a thought of an action taken
but to do what needs to be done;
to go where commanded to go
to do what is commanded to be done
and to not leave until the issue is resolved.

Verse 3
********

You know of people like this in your life
who are like a sticky substance to hold unto;
but when the danger or trouble is over
you can then bid them to stay or leave
for they will take no credit or expect reward
just to continue on to the next and the next.

Verse 4
********

Now it is important to note one thing
a knight does not kill but protects to provide;
yet in all of the skills of combat are they trained;
to lead without question and follow without murmur.
Usually always found in the front of engagement
yet the first to help bind the wounds of those just fought.
