With my sword, I shall cut down all who may stand in our way
And with my shield, I shall quench any strike that would find its way two you
My armor may be old and chipped from many a battle fought, but im no perfect soldier
I simply do my best to protect you while you are small
Because one day when im old and worn
And my armor is nearing its last time worn
I shall pass these weapons to you
For one day you shall have someone too that you wish to protect as I do
