The bodyguards' questI was raised and born from a gentlemanly Clan I guess that's why they call me an Englishman My fate and destiny where born in the stars My heart carries the hurt, within its scars The wise council told me that i was born to serve And to protect the heart and soul of one i deserve I was to carry her name within me, in every heartbeat and breath And to protect her from life through to death I told the elders, i did not have the bloodlust and i wasn't broad They said strength and honour come within the sword It happened then one springs dawn, that i searched for my hearts key And to find what was meant to be I travelled the lands for many moons and many days Learning the art of protection in many It was within a land not like mine When i stumbled upon a woman so beautiful and divine I was travelling within a forest of pine I had no conscious of place or time She was picking wild flowers from an olden path When i heard the most musical and free spirited laugh Her hair was as black as midnight I was dumbstruck by such a breathtaking site She looked upon thee, with eyes that pierced me And i knew then i would serve this woman for all eternity She said she lived a day's walk away And she asked me if i could protect her from the evenings prey I said i would, that it was my life's duty That night when she slept, i simply looked upon such beauty That day i walked her back to her castle on the hill I felt so much in love, i felt so ill She held my hand, and teased me throughout the day I never wanted this moment to go away She said she felt safe in my protecting care And she kissed me and fixed me a loving stare She said her name was Princess Carly, and she had seen me in her dreams And that with her nightmares I had softened her screams We soon reached the castle gate And she asked me if I was still prepared to serve my fate? I dropped to my knees and kissed my sword and looked her in the eye And whispered that I would love her, and serve her till the day I die And as we walked into the fortress, and Draw Bridge closed I would love this woman, and no other path would I have chose. And as the Seasons changed, and years went by And still I protect this woman till the day I die. Vote for this poem
