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.
