A True Lady's Knight
~First Knight~


On blaze of glory
and light of day,
He rode his steed
along the bay.
A man of mercy,
A man of deed.
A man of passion,
A man of creed.

A silver glint,
a flash of light.
His armor gleaming,
his tunic tight.
Sword of justice
along his side.
With truth and honor,
He will abide.

Red and white
his family crest,
Respect to all,
He'd give his best.
Red stripes of color
upon his shield,
Known by all
while in the field.

This field of life,
where we all must be.
He rides the roads
of liberty.
To make a difference
each day he lives.
This his purpose.
His life he gives.

So ladies of
this land so pure.
Never trouble
should you endure.
He will stand by you,
In times of need.
He will always hear
your faithful plead.

If you wonder
who is this man.
And you ask,
"Am I in his plan?"
I tell you once,
and hear me clear,
This be the man,
who loves you dear.

Grace and peace,
for those that seek.
The man who would
His lady keep
For if he be
your one true love,
He 'll do it all,
with our Father's LOVE

 It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Excellent poem, I enjoyed, and it inspired me to write this below:

She sits down on the riverside
waiting for him to ride on by
to catch a glimpse would delight
her mind to float away and ride.

She'd imagine the joy, the glee
to be so precious in one's heart
to envision the reasons for love
knowing ne'r a dark night to flee.

Reality's crest sits close waiting
the shadow in the distance fading
an illusion to imagine a true knight
never mind the value of her own rating.

Great poem, you should read my poem - ' Hero's Tale ' on open poetry 6 archive, it shows the other side of the bargain and would make an excellent add on to your poem, not that it needs it, I enjoyed reading it, the flow and feeling of the poem was great and it says a lot.

P.s. Could the line ' If you wounder who is this man ' be a reference towards God or am I just reading to much into the poem ?
