For Marian

If I could I would return to a time of knights and kings Of castles, dungeons, wizards and mystical magical things I'd see Little John, Will Scarlett, the merry men and Friar Tuck I'd stay away from the sheriff, I'd rather not push my luck Robin was a hunted man, but he beckoned at her calls For Marian he'd risk everything and climb the castle walls His loyalty to King Richard made his men and he outlaws They hid in Sherwood Forest, fighting for the cause The king was in the Third Crusade unaware of the unrest To become ruler of all England was the sheriff's quest Through all this two lovers would light the evening sky For Marian he lived and for Marian he'd die A romance for the ages, A love that would never die A love for all eternity to make the angels sigh For King Richard his loyalty, for Marian his heart To save the crown and England, Robin played his part Richard returned to England to claim his royal crown Robin triumphed in Nottingham bringing the sheriff down There was peace and happiness all throughout the land Robin knelt upon one knee to take his maiden's hand. Robin Hood and Maid Marian.

There is a shining knight who wrote this poem.....one who offers daylight to shine upon this long-time Souper's poetry.......re=reading some of the older works that no longer get read, and making this 'weary fair lady' feel worthier than she did before he came along riding his white horse!!! My thanks to you Vince for being one of the few who go back and seek out long lost poems by such as me, myself and I! I am very grateful....and appreciative! Thank you for taking your valuable time for me.
