Poem
The Knight There once was a man, bravery beyond all compare Bound to a king and kingdom, to the people in despair Past battles to honour his king and his homelands Willingly to lay down his life for all the many clans His armour chinked, remnants of battles long ago His sword in its sheave, ready to defeat any foe His trusty steed, a long friendship, has been earned His honour never falters, ones greatness , be yearned On a solemn night, the king seeks, his one true knight “You my friend, my protector, my one true guiding light “My kingdom cries out to me, do you hear her distain You are her servant, and of all your knights that remain “ “There is this evil that threatens, means to kill and destroy “These marauding clans, many lands, many hoards to deploy “ “We must stand now, raise our swords, show we stand tall” He cries "Today we shall live or we die", for the good of all” "We must ride out to meet these ungodly, unworthy hoard Let our bravery, feel their defeat with our blood stain swords Each of us knights, swore an allegiance to God and our king Now is the time, fight for the honour and glory that shall bring" Such a battle, never seen in many of years past Fighting for the honour, for the kingdom to last Each knight wields their sword, victory seems The one true knight, hearing the death screams He stands tall in the saddle, seeing all the bloodshed His knights stand true, lost in a field of crimson red When an errant spear, somehow finds it's one mark He falls from his steed, blood flows it's reddish dark Knights kneel at his side, seeing death approach their brother All of his warriors, humbly pay homage to a general like no other They raise and carry his body and his sword To honour his bravery, for his king and his lord A king strangely kneels before his fallen knight As if he lost his only son, sorrow lost in twilight He stands, looks upon his people and he cries “This my truest knight, his life, what does it symbolize “ All the kingdom pay homage to their fallen son Raise banners, tell tales, sing songs of the one The one true saviour, to our hearts remain anew To our brave heart, his soul shall remain true
