Kellelynn to thee this day I make this promise,
this pledge of my heart of hearts
today, I am before thee again
to receive from thee the Accolade of a Knight
now do I pledge my love for thee
and ask if thou wouldst be mine for all time

since that day so long ago when I first beheld thee
I have always held thee close to mine heart
my dreams were filled with the brightness of thine eyes
and I longed and prayed for the day
when I would be before thee my love
no longer playmate, but Knight of thine heart
asking for thy hand to always be joined in mine
down the path of life and love

and now, fairest Kellelynn, maiden of my heart
I stand before thee, Knight and Champion, Hero and Man
pledging to thee that most sought of all treasures
mine heart
good and gentle Lady, I pray that thou wouldst
taketh mine heart and hold it close to thee
that it may warm and comfort thee all of thy days

this is the pledge I make to thee this day my love
a pledge of mine heart forever true
and now with these words, I seal the pledge
I Love Thee Kellelynn
and thus shall it always be

Wonderful pledge, Sir Gilven.  What maiden could ask for more?  

Excellent writing

Great poem, continuing the story from the Accolade. Maybe you can keep going with this, continue the story? You the man, Sven. *S*
