I will not ask you to do that which I have not,
nor demand action from you while I lie inert.
I will not expect you to hear as I do,
nor see the colours of dawn as I see them.
I will not demand your love of things I adore,
nor expect understanding without explanations.
I can never command your trust without first earning your respect
nor gain your love without surrendering mine.
I will refuse to advise on matters beyond me,
but always offer my support and aid when called upon.
Never expect the same conclusion from you as I reach.
I will always listen to your precious individual views
and respect them for what they are,
thoughts from your unique mind.
I will refuse to comment on an initial glance,
nor make rash judgements in the heat of the fray.
I will strive to live in peace with myself and all others,
to balance my emotions and thoughts evenly and fair.
Never apologize for what I am,
nor fear what I may become,
for I alone have the power to alter my future.
I will forever search for enlightenment outside as within.
To better myself in both our eyes.
I will fight for truth, to vanquish lies,
but not for the sake of battle, do I lust,
it is for knowledge I crave, that which belongs to us all.
I will never allow my bias to cloud your actions,
nor permit your deeds to dull my love.
For you and I are Soul mates on this, our voyage of being.
As snow and rain are siblings,
our forms may differ, yet we are of the same line.
