Serving My Purpose

My purpose is vital
To protect those closest to me
I must fight for those that cannot
Even if it risks my own death
I must do what my duties are
When others lose their fighting spirits
I must guide their spirits back to them
When others have lost their feeble support
I must use myself as their shield
When others cry out for help
I must be there to answer their call
Protecting the weak, defending the frail
That is my purpose in life
