You taught me to fight,
How to run, and to fly,

And you taught me patience,
How to quiet my mind,

You taught me resilience,
How to bend,
But not break,

You taught me silence,
How to breathe in the sea,

You taught me to track,
to snare,
And to hunt,
To not let enemies run,
And be quick with a gun,
Sword,
Dagger,
And spear,
To chase down my quarry,
Without mercy or fear

You taught me to lie,
To see without eyes,

You taught me to swim,
How to survive,
On these sundered seas

You taught me to hate,
To laugh and to love,
You taught me mercy,
But not for a dove,

You taught me to be wary,
Suspicious, at a glance,
You taught me to blend in,
Inconspicuous, by chance,

You taught me to sing,
To smile and dance,

And then one day,
You left,
Threw caution to the wind
Left it all to chance.

So you...
