Will I ever have him?

She weighed with a heavy sigh

Underneath that shadowy brim is a pair of benevolent eyes

Eyes full of memories of a past that remains unspoken

If I were ever to lose his love, my heart would surely be broken

I care not what he did ago

Murder was not his intent

His friends were wasted by evil foes, he was collecting undue rent

Her auburn eyes blazed with a passion at the burning in her heart

She pictured him so dashing, passionate, generous and smart

His devotion burns for me

Like an eternal flame so true

I must hurry now to thee before the moment gone I rue

She brushed out her raven hair, adjusted her prairie skirt

Breathlessly whispered a silent prayer and left barefoot in the dirt

Her heart pounded like a drum

At the outcome she was fearing

She told the parson, The time has come' as her eyes were slowly tearing

The parson understood her condition and proceeded without delay

He respected her volition to wed her courageous hero today

As they approached his campsite

There was a hush that chilled them both

No kindling lighting up the night; just a body white as a ghost

Although our hero could barely speak, his vows to her he gallantly uttered

Soon his pulse started to grow weak and he turned to her and muttered

"My Darling whose beauty enraptures and Devotion is without fail

The Angels have arranged my capture, my ship is ready to sail"

Those auburn eyes shone with a radiant glow as she took his face in her hands

"I'll Love You Forever; your legacy I will crow, there will never be another man"

"Although this battle you have not won, in vain you will not die

You've left me with an unborn son, your sins God will sanctify"

He smiled as his last breath crept and her bosom he nestled in peace

With dignity, in death he slept, His legacy will never cease.
