Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart

Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart

Now that I have won my love’s heart and trust,
I must prove myself as a worthy choice
And secure the fickle bond between us
When others challenge for her hand and voice.

They utter words to sway her opinion
And whisper sweet nothings into her ear
(To paint me as a loathsome perception),
Ready to move in and steal my treasure.

I do what I think is right and prepare
To do battle to defend my gained spoils.
Her beauty matches any found on Earth,
And I cherish her love throughout these toils.

   This is the heart of the matter; do tell,
   To know chivalry is alive and well.
