Sonnet

By Jack Hawkins
I have searched the entire world for you.
Met countless girls who claimed to be the one.
But really they were all just a preview,
knew that they weren’t there for the long run.
Thought I’d be alone the rest of my life,
a knight capable of killing a beast,
but incapable of finding a wife.
After meeting you, all those thoughts have ceased.
Knew I was in love when I saw your face.
A life of searching for the one to love,
was all worth it when I felt your embrace.
A love that was destined from One above.
A knight’s lifelong quest finally complete,
I’ll love you ‘til my heart beats its last beat.
