Look up, do you see the sun in the sky?
Be at rest child, the battle is finished.
You have done your duty as samurai.
But know your life is being diminished.

You shall have nor worries or fears of death.
Transcendence is part of death we shall seek.
Come receive your honor with your last breath.
Let only one tear to fall down your cheek. 

The thoughts of a samurai are of peace.
Even at death, he kneels for his good land.
His honor to his land shall never cease.
Even at death, he keeps his sword in hand.

Look up and greet the moon in the vast sky.
Give her your last wishes and say goodbye. 
This is a sonnet about a dying samurai. I wrote this poem after watching the Last Samurai and Let me tell you, it breaks my heart (TnT)
But at least this samurai earns everlasting peace and honor to his generations and generations of family. ^U^
