Always I Have You
© 2014 Drew Nicholson

Though I do not have a sword in stone, nor holy grail round,
There is no star above my head to sanctify my crown,
Of 'dwen's Cauldron I do not posess, a lack I do not rue,
For though I do not have these things... Always, I have you.

Arthur held on high his Guenivere, to lose to Lancelot,
Romeo did live for Juliet, though short time did Death alot.
Prince Llewellyn slew brave Gelert, though his loyalty was true,
But I will rise where they did fail... Always, I have you.

Hector fell before his city's gates, Achilles' victim there,
In the Pyrenees did Roland pass, as he brought his horn to bear,
From a broken heart the hunter died, and there the white dove flew,
I close my eyes and see your face... Always, I have you.

So take my hand and bear the crown I won for you that day
Your dignity upheld me as I struggled through the fray
We'll hold these thrones with grace and care, our reign begins anew
My queen, my light, my happiness, Always, I have you.


For you are the air in my lungs, the strength in my good arms,
I will fight with valor for your sake, to keep you from all harm,
Every effort that I undertake, and action that I do
Accomplishments in your good name, from first to last for you.

Though I do not have a sword in stone, nor holy grail round,
There is no star above my head to sanctify my crown,
Of 'dwen's Cauldron I do not posess, a lack I do not rue,
For though I do not have these things... Always, I have you.
