If only she were here
I would tend and care for her
Yet still give her room to grow
And make sure she took the right path.
The woods are always dark and dangerous
And I would not leave her alone
She might not see me follow
But I will always ward her well.
A woods guide I am by trade
And a seeker of truth and answers
By nature I protect and serve
But guard more than just her life.
I want to know her mind body and soul
Are all in good order and shining
And her state of mind is always my concern
Never far from my thoughts.
Her elegance and bearing are that of a queen
Though I am only a Knight I still wish for her favor
A knight errant who will one day find his honor again
And knows it will be by her hand.
Though she is a queen has never gotten the respect of one
Her court has never been one of love and sharing
The other lands have thrown their might at her
But I will stand, alone if need be, against the force.
Nothing will deter me, none shall stand in my way
The largest man, the deadliest master
None will ever cause harm again
Not while I still have blood and breath.
I know she knows how I feel about her
But will she open and let me love her
I will eventually have her heart though
I think It is all just a matter of time.
M'lady is one that I won't let away
Never to be alone again
Let all know it is inadvisable to bring my wrath
My sword and heart are hers...
