Knight’s Plea

By John Aspen P. Catingub

Let no pain be born in vain

Lest in darkness I shall remain.

Though my heart trembles feart to bear,

My hope still lives in me – I swear.

On my right: I grasp the shield.

On my left: The sword I wield.

I am armed with my own resolve,

And my fear – doth all dissolve.

Though my soul is still unclean,

My true acts right the means.

As my end will come to a close,

So shall my sword strike down my foes.

Whether I would be victorious…

Or slain.

Or to be casted aside…

And driven insane.

“Let no pain

Be born in vain,

For God is with me,

And shall remain.”

A soldier within,

And a fear without,

Remember these,

When in faith you doubt.
