many a knight went to battle to win the fair maiden
Lady and The Knight
.
Tis a story so old as time
Of a lady and a knight
The kings' prize for loyalty
Was his daughter's hand
To the knight that would
Protect his land
.
Knights served their laird well
For they knew the lady fair
So young and beautiful
Ebony eyes and raven hair
.
With many other knights
Off to war he was sent
Traveling through alien country
To ward off attack of the laird's land
. Battle after battle
He bravely did fight
Many were injured
Many were lost that fearsome night
.
Returning home after the war
The laird did keep his word
The fair maiden was to be his bride
All through the clan they rejoice
On their wedding night

well this Dark Knight was impressed with your words and picture--well done
Ah, the age of chivalry, it seems, is not dead, Kathleen. Did you ever hear rodgers and hart's take on Camelot, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court; swell, witty songs therein contained, I do proclaim.
How nice to remember "Camlot" and the shining knights of days when, at least a few, were noted and rewarded for the good deeds that they had done.
Your friend, Mark
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.

I love Camelot and was in it as a child, so all of this speaks to the heart.
