Forget the suit of shining armour
Forget the talk of strength and honor
Forget the quest for good and proper
That’s not what a knight is for.
Forget the sword and battle scars
Forget the daring repertoires
Forget the grit and dragon char
That’s not what a knight is for.
Forget the dimples and chiseled chin
Forget the locks and pearly grin
Forget the muscles and golden skin
That’s not what a knight is for.
Find someone with unfettered kindness
Who’s lavish with laughter
And doesn’t mind wryness
Who’s witty,
And thoughtful
And tender
And warm
That is what a
knight is for.
Great poem!
