The Quest of the Heart

Long ago in times of old there was a young man Searching and planning for the quest for his heart He looked over and under and far away He kept searching for that one beat to keep his heart beating As years passed and as he aged his thoughts disappeared His quest for his heart could not be found sad he became Working everyday as a farmer he had no one but his horse Isabel his horse was called a proper and fine name As he had to go into town to pick up supplies, Isabel his horse Needed new shoes but Isabel was not happy and bolted away As he called for Isabel for her return he heard a sweet voice yell Yes, I am Isabel she said may I help you? He looked in awe He could not believe his eyes as he went to talk to her He tripped over a rock, with a grin she smiled and looked away They talked and talked and then one day they married but Isabel his horse was never to be found so he has always just loved One, Isabel at a time
