The Way Of The Samurai

Sword held to the waist,
Cloth worn with pride,
Slashing through my enemies,
That is not my way of the samurai,

What is the purpose of this sword I carry?
Simple, to protect those who are in need,
Why do I wear this battered robe with pride?
For in it not the external that matters when you're a Samurai

Honor bestowed upon our name,
Those of us, who battle,
Names remembered forever,
That is truly the way of the Samurai.

You will die honorably by the blade of the sword,
Sworn for eternal life,
Upon the heaven above.
Going off to battle, with nothing but a smile.

A sincere smile,
Happy to serve and protect,
Families and people look up to you,
It is then you've truly become one.

So, take that sword of life,
And the battered robe of pride,
And live on your life,
A Samurai, the true leader.
