MODERN DAY KNIGHT
Are you one who dares to go where others fear to tread?
Can you slay the formidable dragons that most men dread?
Do you believe chivalry should live on and never die?
That honor should be reflected in all aspects of your life?
Do you undertake quests for a creed or praise of the world?
Are you determined and committed when others are unsure?
Do you believe in being courteous in word and deed?
Ride for love of God and Truth on your snowy, faithful steed?
With valiant pride, inner strength, nobleness and all your might,
When trouble arises do you wield your sword for right?
Can you be trusted to keep your sacred vows and word?
Where others have given up, do you persist and endure?
Are you steadfast, though you are far from view?
A champion of justice, worthy of the charge given to you?
Would you rescue a damsel in distress with gallantry?
With steely glint in your eye, face down the enemy?
Would you search 'til you find the 'Holy Grail' of true love?
Drink from its cup; rejoice in its discovery thereof?
To win the maiden's love would you go to any depth or length?
Boldly persist, let nothing and no one stand in your way?
Be completely devoted, on her only, use your charm?
Let her feel the purity and strength from your powerful heart?
With humbleness, on bended knee, would you ask for her hand?
Shout your love out to the world declaring you’re her man?
Would you defend her honor ... even if it’s not without spot?
Share everything you hold most dear, give her all you’ve got?
Surround her in your righteousness like armor that protects?
Keep her shielded from wicked intentions – so they deflect?
Hold her close, with a love that will remain unsurpassed?
Cradled safe against your chest so no ghost can pass?
Are you honest, true, faithful, loyal and without guile?
To have her love and tender heart would you go the extra mile?
In tones of hushed reverence, with passion, would you her address?
Stripped of armor show your vulnerability and tenderness?
Would you give her your love, respect, trust, and fidelity bestow?
Cherish every moment with her, hold tight and never let her go?
