Co Scott

I'm an admirer of his love Not the romantic kind The kind in our imaginations Brought to life With a chivorous Knight A defender of the poor and downtrodden Riding his horse with his sword glistening and well sharpened Defender of truth and adoring his one and only Woman By his side I first met him Over a year and a half ago He was handing me over to clearance The intensity in his gaze said I should stand up and pay attention This was something he needed help in Like his little broken but talented soldier I complied How do you say no way to a Knight in shining armour Who bestows you with a task at hand and helps you along the way This Knight would pop by every now and again and ask how it's going Are you going to finish this by the end of the day? I'd say to this Knight I'm working on it He'd reply You know I'm a Yes or No man And I'd reply back Yes I know But I have my own way of answering Saying it ever so sweetly His eyes light and he chuckles as he rides away A task at hand forming in his mind to bestow on me For another day I didn't realize it Until after he rode into the sunset That these tasks he bestowed on me Were for my own benefit To work on me To become strong and free No longer needing My Knight in shining armour That all I needed was me
