My Decree: I am a Man


My Decree

I am a Man

 

I will honor the qualities of a Knight as chivalry is truly intended to be.  I will not bow down to

any man but only in faith to my God. I will stand true to myself, my honor, my kindness, my

respect.  I will be brave, I will not be afraid to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves.

I will cherish my time with love.  I will not stay in the past.  I will live in the present and look

toward the bright future.  I will respect everyone, all of God's children.  I will forgive past

wrongs, and correct current hurts.  I will not dwell on what or who was lost in the name of love.

I will be a Knight.  I will serve my country as I seem fit.  I will love in the respectful and proper

manner of loving and caring for women as God intended man to.

 

I swear on my honor, life's blood, and my very soul; and everything I hold dear and close to my

heart.  I will be a man as God intended.  I will put my heart into everything I do.  I will be

crushed.  But I will feel extreme, perfect bliss, and pleasure of true happiness.

 

I am a Man

<p>#nofilter scholarship slam</p><p>I wrote this poem my senior year of highschool.&nbsp; I do not write many poems and I wanted this one&nbsp;to be heard on this site and just anywhere to help those who are feeling down or just to remeber what humanity can stand for, man or woman, or now a days the gender you wish to be.&nbsp; Life is life.</p>
