Hwa Rang Do is a way of life,
It's so much more than sword and knife,
Hwa Rang is the way of the flowering man,
Who would rather lend a helping hand,
I have learned to better myself,
Not to want more belts on my shelf,
I've learned not boast about myself,
Only about someone else,
I think loyalty is an important virtue,
Without it your friends will desert you,
A black belt isn't what I'm looking for,
I wish people knew there was much more,
When I share all I can with my sisters&brothers,
Then I can begin to share with others,
Until then I learn and be patient,
And try to learn the way of ancient.
