My Lady Morning descends upon the hill Cold is the air with nightly chill Commoners begin to flow into the street The daily life begins like a seed I look down the alley with squinting eye I ask my soul, why do I miss her, why I see what they brought to this busy place of all Fruits, weeds, seeds and vegetable The lyre is playing a haunting weep Missing your touch, oh so deep I cast my eyes across the thoroughfare I can't see, but wish you would be there The sun sets down there over the hill The WEE folks leave and the air gets a chill My Lady I did not find you today My Lady I could not say My Lady the words weren't said My horse is tired and I have to go to bed Tomorrow perhaps, when the sun will shine Mom will let me go and perhaps My Lady you'll be mine I put on my costume of glitter and sword I will saddle up my wooden horse Perhaps tomorrow My Lady your mine Be gentle with me, for I'm only nine. The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

I love the atmosphere you created in this work. The historical setting is the perfect background for your artistic words. I was entranced by the emotion felt by the "knight" and then I was forced to smile when the truth was revealed. Absolutely, positively loved it! |
