Fascinating comparison

What a testament to my character
To be compared to a samurai
A modern day cavalier
With qualities to justify

What an honor to be perceived as such
I am humbled by this friend's words
They go straight to my heart they mean so much

I take it as a compliment
With gratitude, I accept this praise
And strive to live up to these noble ways

To embody the heart of a true warrior born
With loyalty and courage shining through
Respect and integrity, a badge of honor
Worn
Am I deserving of such flattering remarks from you?

Friend, I have to say
I did not expect these comments today
