A Dream Come True

Another romantic poem. Has not been edited

All of my life
I have been told stories of princes and knights;
how they take up sword and shield…to fight.
Fight your battles….they will
and win the heart of some golden hair maiden…
which was usually the deal.
Well, I am no golden hair maiden
and my life is no fairytale,
but you fight my battles anyway.
A sword and shield for me you do weld.
A warrior for my cause…you are.
My heart, like the most precious of jewels… you guard.
Thankful, so thankful that you are in my life,
that I kept looking, even when I thought I lost my sight.
Our life together has been a dream come true.
You, my tall Nordic warrior with eyes so blue…
are my prince… my knight,
and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
