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

| Unless you intended them , I see some mistakes.
such as:
They is my father he said to me
Do not sheave this sword
I beleive its spelled "sheathe".
It's prudent to revise before you post. But we all make mistakes, including myself.
