This is for Marsha...she knows why

Not for me silver or gold
To make me precious feel
If you would deign to win my heart
Ring me round with steel

I don't need a garden soft
With trees and waving fronds
If you would battle for my love
Armour me with bronze

And when I hear those words of love
I think how quaint, how crass
If you would be standing by my side
Surround me all in brass

I don't want your sweetest troth
Although I know you're tryin'
If you would be mine my love
Encase me in your iron

Armoured love surround my heart
Entrapped in plated mesh
From love's battle I will dart
And leave the field refreshed

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

This is a very beautiful and interesting poem, Kethry. Thank you for sharing it. I'm sure Marsha will enjoy it.

But do you realize that when we coat steel, bronze, brass and iron with Silver and Gold, they still have the strength of steel, bronze, brass and iron but reflect God's light, His sunshine, so much more brilliantly illuminating so much more heavenly Glory. And it is God's Glory that brings us peace and joy.

This is so elegant and so full of warmth that you can toast bread with it. It is up to you to supply the butter. Lucky person.

Keth - I love the idea of encasing the heart in iron, symbolizing the safety and protection that love can provide. You are so very good, but you know that.

What a fantastic poem Kethry. I’m sure Marsha will love it. I know I do.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
