Notes About The Poem

A " Love Triumphant Trophy Poem"  below is composed with the inspiration of Charles Haigh Wood's Painting

Love Will Triumph

**V** \ / \ / v He is her knight in shining armor in all angles and sight… He has all the courage to go and ask her hand, From the woman’s father who’s well-known as a noble man; Words of humiliations, he swallows them all, He is a commoner but his love for her is so true and pure. Despite their opprobrium, he keeps fighting for his great love, In a humble way, he begs for her parents’ blessings knocking their wooden heart; Bowing before her father… he implores… Making faithful promises to keep forevermore. His heart of gold and few hectares of land enough dowries he can give, all for his dearest one. For she’s their only daughter, their lovely princess very precious, and so pretty-she really is. The suitor’s words are passionate, fervent and firm, The man is so adamant, he still refuses him, His words continue…spewing cogent powers… Finally melts her mother’s heart--- His struggles to win her and be both blessed will soon be over, He’ll surely conquer for his love is so great proven to last forever.

This poem does a wonderful job of describing the desperation and earnestness of the young man. The only daughter, very pretty and precious was a very good observation, or else imagination; it really adds to the story.

PS...I was out playing in the rain today, when you text. LOL, it got all crazy, I was waiting for a second picnic table I ordered to put under the patio at my restaurant. It started pouring cats & more cats <--- :) I accidentally locked my keys in doors. I could not escape the rain.. SO I ENJOYED... the best part was breaking into my own business with all these passing cars. hehehe. I got my keys, I smiled at all the bad things that got in my way today ((how fun)). 2 flat tires, then the keys, and The soaking wet. Love, U
