A friend

After 1 Samuel 18:1-5 

Two souls, knit

together as one,

two souls loving

each other as one,

the exalted one

loving the lower one.

A covenant made,

a prince’s robe given,

a prince’s armor given,

a prince’s sword given,

a prince’s bow and belt given,

the lower one so honored

that he fought and conquered,

proving worth and valor,

a prince’s blessing given,

a king’s blessing given.
