Knight of Defence

08 April 2006


Just remember, I wrote the book
the one she does at night read
All tucked up in safety of the sheets
no one to harm her in ways unkind

Her beauty, much more than summer
the season, one of her own
Any picture that can paint these words
those being held with her in gratitude

Not to treat her wrong
but with uppermost respect
To know of her in understanding
twice in spirit, a world conjoined

As each night, her dreams are peace
a drift upon a poetic wave to reach
To know her, was to love her
protection only God could allow


“And God looked upon the children of Israel,
and God had respect unto them.”
Exodus 2: 25 KJV
