The Knight

Once upon a dandelion,

There was a little boy who played Knights of the Round Table with his neighborhood friends.

In their jelly stained, striped T shirts, and grassy knee'd blue jeans,they would wield their swords and engage in battle.

At school, the little boy was known by his teacher, to be a "perfect gentleman".

The little boy grew up, as little boys do, and became a soldier. He enjoyed the company of his comrades, and the travels to castles far away; but also witnessed the reality and horrors of battle.

One fine day, the soldier, rescued a damsel in distress, and became her Knight in Shining Armor.

They had a whirlwind courtship; no time for dreaming dreams for the future, before they wed.

Through the years, each day, their love deepened, and together they slew the dragons that would threaten their happiness. As time passed, all of the dreams they hadn't even had time to dream.....came true.

I love you, Honey, thank you for being my Knight. It's been a wonderful 36 years!
