The Life of a Valiant Knight In King Arthur's Court

The Life Of A Valiant Knight In King Arthur's Court There within the postern side of a hairy night Fumbled the great hero with his sharpened sword His valor never questioned, he knew no fright not even anger and pain of avenging hordes All that red-blood spilt and enemy destroyed His courage always a stout stallion on display Long Bow, sharp sword and keen knife, tools he employed And the beauty of pure courage with little pay As knight he knew to honor his master and God To fight for divine goodness and a righteous cause Truth, bravery evident wherever he trod Only helping those innocent gave he good pause. A most courageous knight and a valiant quest. Serving only truth, light and God that he knows best. Robert J. Lindley, Jan 1st 1971 Age 17 years old Note: Doubts are there, if King Arthur really existed. He does my friends, as I have seen him often in my dreams.

Lovely poem. Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking and inspirational piece. I still believe that King Arthur, his knights of the round table and Merlin exist. It's one of my favourite stories. I believe in magic and miracles. Stay blessed. :-)

As do I my friend. The story may be about a real king and are stretched to make him seem even far more heroic. One of my favorites as well. God bless.
