Knights So Bold : Chivalry

written by Poet : Codger


Knights So Bold

 

In days of yore

When dragons did fly

Knights upon horses

Lances held high

 

How far would they ride

This quest could cost lives

For the head of a dragon

What an honorable prize

 

The ladies in waiting

The horizon they seek

For a glimpse of their heroes

Coming home on their steeds

 

Riding in from their victory

So handsome and straight

Heads held up high

Their ladies can’t wait

 

Climbing down from their mounts

Armor shining in the sun

Reunited with their loves

Another battle won

 

From those days to now

Some things haven’t changed

The dragons are gone

But the battles still rage

 

Our troops ride away

Now on winged mounts

Going off to new perils

It seems without count

 

Their ladies still wait

The horizon they scan

Is their hero coming home

Will he be the same man

 

At last it appears

With gossamer wings

The heroes are home

Hearts start to sing

 

These knights now dismount

From their shiny flying steeds

The ladies run to meet them

Their heroes they need

 

Swept from their feet

Fair ladies swing round

Elation with abandon

Love does abound

 

Home once again

To their ladies so fair

With love in their hearts

Devil may care

 

The dragon is slain

The heroes have won

Some say chivalry is dead

I don’t think so my son
