Enemies held close, such is wisdom's course

Gazing clear-eyed in readiness jointed

Knight Errant traveling minus his horse

As though to the position anointed

Avowed to safeguard, to stand by his guns

Preparedness supports honor and truth

His planning includes makeshift garrisons

He's been this way since he was quite a youth

His family's always been priority

He shreds his muscles striving to do right

To supply the strongest security

To march sentinel, aegis of the fight

His first and best calling fits like a glove

Staunch, never-failing, guardian of love
