The Ultimate Defense
Shields of love deflect blows of hate
And I have a shield like no other
One that the gods themselves have blessed me with

Strongest of all
Made of legendary proportions
Admired many times over

A shield which guards me from any contemptful being
One that protects me in battle
And continues to do so
Long after my defense has been lowered

I am cloaked in security
Security of peace of mind
Without my shield, I am nothing
Not only am I open to hateful slings and arrows
But all reach their target
Striking my weakest point – the heart

Shields of love deflect blows of hate
And I have a shield like no other...
