Knighthood Tale

Knighthood tale
While we look back at the past 
Great memories keep rushing back 
As today is the joy of many tomorrow
Many yesterdays have no hiding places 

Though i live to love you forever 
Love walks away from the reminiscence 
As a good name is coated in gold 
Streams of joy and happiness 

We are going to tell you fables! 
From the king tables for nobles 
Great Men are the Men of the past 
Like a titan fall among the minnows 

For a living dog is better than a dead lion 
As pages are born for his knighthood 
A great knight is a crowned king
Many fables and tales to tell 

His world is full of wonder 
as sober as pie of honors 
Something to remember than flowers 
As a friend closes at the same heart.

Jeanette Swan April 15, 2024 at 4:57 AM This is an interesting look at the value of past fame and glory and present-day common joy in love. I like these lines especially, 'As today is the joy of many tomorrows/ Many yesterdays have no hiding places.' - These are very thought provoking about what matters and to treasure livingness joy and love, rather than fame (perhaps only fabled) or things only living in my mind from the past. A good read. I like it. J :) Adebayo Mubarak oladimeji April 15, 2024 at 5:05 AM Thank you for the feedback
