“Knighthood lies above eternity. It doesn't live off fame, but rather deeds.”
Dejan Stojanovich
As a child
When nightmares came,
So did you
To calm my fears,
Allowing me
To rest.
As I grew older
The nightmares grew, too,
Daily experiences layered
Upon dark memories,
And always you were there,
Loving me,
Keeping me safe,
Sometimes from myself.
As an adult
I became
My own warrior,
For there were
No others
To fight my battles
But you
Were always there
Just beyond
The light of day,
Waiting once more
To soothe my spirit
And allow me to rest,
To prepare for
The next battle.
Now,
In the last third
Of my life,
You are still here,
Still with me
Each night,
Holding me close
In my dreams
Keeping me safe
With your love.
