I came before thee on bended knee
A tear of sorrow in my eye
To beg of ye my liberty
To live…and not to die

I ask of thee to spare thy sword
And bring to bear the rack
I beg of yee within each word
I wish to feel bones crack

I came before this court to say
My guilt is purely clear
I came before thine Lord to pray
To live yet thru this year.

But if this man is chose to die
I ask not for the veil
I wilt stand tall,I wilt not cry
My soul wilt surely sail

For by my death a thousand shall
Come forth to free the land
And as my blood does flow the swill
They wilst before you stand.

This is a lovely thought to come here and read before going to church this morning. Thank you kind sir for this.

In truth, what defines us is our poetry.

(big huggsssssss) Oh Barry, this is simply marvelous, I admire how in the medieval times everyone in a kingdom was interdependent, they all shared a common bond and stood up as brothers to one another and sought revenge on those who tried to break that creed. (sigh) I only wish this same kind of value can prosper everywhere today as well, I pray for this semi-harmony to resurrect itself, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
