In Wait of Thee
Beneath the shadows of the moon, I wished upon night's sea.
Stretching towards the heavens, stepped I, into world of Thee.
I laid this head 'pon pillowed thoughts, to dream and touch thy soul.
The beating of mine heart was raised, its rhythm lost control.

Dreamt I, in the nightfall, of thine eyes that shine their blue.
If one glance was all it took, this heart fell in their hue.
You've stolen mine, it's in thy keep, forever in thine hold.
Treasured are these words I seek, as day begins its fold.

You've tasked him one too many, as the days drone on and on
Father's wish uncounted now, it's I who needs thy pawn.
A guarantee, a pledge of love, this Lady wishes for
To lift me when e'er the morn has come, each day of evermore.

She waits for thee, this Lady, mine, pens for all to see
Her Knight of blue, has chiseled heart of hers in wait of Thee.

Sir Noah,
This Lady did not
count syllables, she just
wrote from her heart in
a rhythmic way.

Thanking Thee,
Lady O

Thank you for this beauty!
It was very legible to me and a perfect valentine for somebody very special and very fortunate. Your rhythm and rhyming were perfect
