My King,

I come to thee as thy humble knight
to tell of that which ye wish not to hear.

Before the dawn of the third day
as the rise of the red sun touches the
clouds above our heads. We,  my lord,  
all of us...

will be struggling to quell the flow
of battle raining down, as rain does fall
upon the killing fields.

The armies of two countries march as I speak.
Riding lathered steeds,  blood in their eyes,
seeking death and defeat of all thy realm.

Cursed is thy name to those that come against us.

My lord,  though I may not live to see the
morn after…

I stand at thy side,  as thy servant, faithful
to all there is before me,

to the seas at the great white cliffs beyond the
forest green,  the mountains high.  

As far as my eyes can see beyond the tears
that stream from my face.

I give to you my life,  blood of my heart, my soul
in this hour of great peril.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Brave Knight
you are the blade that stands strong
the lance that reaches beyond grasps
the armor that broucades the horizon in safety
but of all this,
you shall forever stay a Knight
for you know the blood of the faithful.

Sir Magnus,
I beg of thee
to take care and
come back safely
to those who hold thee
in passionate thoughts.

Barry, I just stopped by to say "hello" and tell you how much I enjoyed the read.  You know how I love the words you pen about the humble knights.  Take care.  Wanda
