My sword for my king My body for my people My heart for my love These things I pledge To the God in Heaven Who reigns from above My sword for my king Keeper of the faith Defender of the crown To protect his life Keeping him safe From enemies all around My body for my people Keepers of the flame Defenders of the land To protect their way of life Keeping their homes safe From the effects of time's sands My heart for my love Keeper of my soul Defender of my life To protect her life forever Keeping her close to me Putting an end to my strife ------------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

This reminds me of a benediction, something to be recited to oneself...I like the feel to it. Kind of an old world feel.  Velly velly nice! May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

I'd love to journey through days of olde with one such as you Sven. Beautifully portrayed A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Sven, Love the layout on this one. You seem to outdo yourself all the time. This is wonderful. I really like the knight theme. She who holds your heart and soul is very fortunate indeed. Excellent... Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |
