You asked to do this. This is your purpose. Be their companion their friend their lover. At first sign of need Be their healer, their teacher Their Soldier. Stand beside them, in times happy or sad. Stand watch from far vantage. To spy troubles ahead. Guide them through heartache, fear and confusion. If the barrier stymies, break out the napalm. Accept your own flaws. And compensate for them. Teach them to fight Find them arms and armor. Be their scientist their logistical expert Their engineer. Balance Between smothering and abandonment Recklessness and Cowardice Over sheltering and callousness Do not leave wounds to fester. Trust adapation over denial. Find joy, when there's a chance. Trust your own strength survive your travails. Direct allies to them before yourself. Accept that failure is inevitable. Fight Anyway, always. And it's not here, today. Be what your charge needs. Ever and always This was your choice This is your purpose.
