Man At Arms Serving His King
With his lance in his sheath upon his mount
Traveling to the Castles gate tired from battle
His helmet tarnished and armor bloodied by war
This one lone Knights only wish is, to see his lady
Ridding through the Castles gates a page approaches him
Squire, the King wishes your appearance
Tired and tethered he kneels before his King
Flags of his code of arms placed beside his King
Sir. Charles please rise your bow before me is not needed
I wish to honor you before all for your Gallantry in battle
With his eyes weak and his body filled with scares
My King, I ask not to be honored for I have done this for all
Honor those who did not return whose families are now without
As you wish Sir. Charles but tonight there shall be a feast
You shall sit next to me beside my daughter and celebrate
The King had his servants create attire with gold and ruby’s
Then sent to Sir Charles dressed in glory he sat at the Kings table
The Kings daughter with her eyes glowing was also dressed in gold
With wine flowing like water and a bounty of food with music playing
Sir. Charles, it would be my wish if were to dance with my daughter
Without the fear of war this knight was shy and awkward toward his lady
My King, I would die in battle for all but to dance I have no skill
Laughing at this hero of war, Sir. Charles nor does my daughter
Both rising as he takes her hand, may I dance with you my lady?
After a time with wine filled bellies Sir Charles kneeled before her
My lady looking up into her eyes, yes Sir Charles she replied
My honor prevents me from placing you into my bed this night
But, I wish to ask that we wed and you bare our child
Sir Charles, no man have I seen with such honor not to bed me this night?
I must present this to my King and ask to wed my lady
My King may I approach and ask to wed My Kings daughter?
Sir Charles you are but a squire how could I let you wed my daughter?
With love of fire in his heart he replied, My King I will not honor your wish
For my love for her I will fight this Kingdom and take her in flight
I see where thy heart lays Sir Charles so your King will grant thy wish
There will be a calibration like no other have ever seen in this honor
Never before has a squire wed a Kings daughter but this love of two
Created a new kingdom rule that a Knight in shinning armor
May wed the Kings daughter for the love of two shall never be denied
This Kings new golden rule for two
