He casts a broad shadow,
Mighty shoulders and arms,
Confidence and power,
He’ll protect against all harms;
He is master of his own destiny
She is what ever he wishes her to be,
He breaks the pathway through
She follows what ever he’ll do.

Her burden is light
All she is,
Body and spirit his,
They are each others warmth at night,
But at day
Keep away
Behind and never to the right,
Shield side
Behind to hide
In the shadow of the fight.

A warrior’s woman stands without fear,
Although danger and death are often near,
Blood of enemies often splatter clothes,
But where ever he travels there she goes
He is a wandering hero for good
Taking up the battles where others should,
He’s not just an ordinary warrior
But a paladin in shining armor,
Far too often traveling penniless
Yet always fighting all evil fearless.
She is only a warrior’s woman
And he is much yet he is still a man
She walks to the left and a step behind
The bravest true man she could ever find.

This made me think of many things... including the saying "got your back"... Shield side is also heart side... and without love what is life?

*S* As I said... you made me think... and I definitely enjoyed. *S*
