These Are My JOTtings...

The Orange Knight with a Yellow Sash

Standing tall he lights the way
for horsemen in the night.
Knight - calm, firm; Dark must obey
this orange, yellow light.

This father, son with solar core
embrace the task that lies before.
Bring hope to those, who live on Earth
through sword of life and endless worth.

Exultant father through the day
brings joy to all, who see.
None could view one small display
without behemoth he.

The growing son, a stalwart knight,
as honored tool or awful plight
can help the ones he would protect
or harm them all through slight neglect.

Cherished friend at feast of birth
makes fingers dance each year.
Fingers blown out with great mirth
make orange knight to cheer.

The orange knight with yellow sash
gave self to cook, quite unabashed
that meats and cakes and party foods
would bring great joy and taste real good.

Message clear the knight by cloud
alerts the village far.
Hero stands and shouts quite loud
the sleepy soul to jar.

The orange knight with yellow belt
can harden clay or wax be melt,
Like practiced soldier in the fray,
his good can come when rules obey.

Moral guards control the knight,
commanding all his deeds.
Safety keeps the future bright,
ensuring all our needs.

The orange knight with sash in place,
attention with all needed grace.
He must obey commander's voice,
without a thought for his own choice.
