The Fearless Knight

The sun shone against his armour,
His horse rode against the wind,
His sword sliced through branches,
And his shield nestled against his chest!

Look! Yelled the bagpiper,
And the foot soldiers turned around to see
Coming out from the forest
They saw, the knight riding his steed!

The ground thundered, under its gallop
The birds scattered with fear,
The white steed thundered on like a storm
Showing neither hesitation nor fear!

The soldiers marched towards the battlefield,
The knight leading the sea
Of archers, foot soldiers and cavalry
While the old king stayed behind with glee!

As they stood in formation,
At one end of the field,
They saw the enemy on the other side,
And the vast green field in between!

The knight removed his helmet,
And he yelled out for all to hear-
In god we trust! ,
Show no remorse or fear!

He put back on his helmet,
And gently patted his steed,
Closed his eyes for a moment,
And saw his lady smiling,
His child naughty as usual,
And giggling with glee!

Under the cold shield of armour,
Ran down a warm drop of tear,
The thought of death was scary,
But he didn’t show it,
He looked brave
To anyone near!

He cleared his throat softly,
And raised aloft his sword,
And yelled aloud to charge!

Seeing him go ahead,
The soldiers,
Charged ahead like a storm!
