As you stand at your watchtower
And gaze to the west
With thoughts of years past
And emotions seeking rest

The quest of young suitors
Attend to the fair
Was not long ago, your form
Would capture their stare

You seek for their faces
In memories gone by
You smile at their visions
With a gleam in you eye

Your knights in white satin
Are covered with dust
A mount, rose-colored horses
Stained by their rust

The visions now fading
You sigh as you must
While visions become
Fragments of memories' dust

As you stand at your watchtower
Now gaze to the east
Your thoughts filled of wonder
Your heart seeking peace

Your years are now lessened
Giving heed to all time
The way you will spend them
Brings questions to mind

The silence is haunting
Your arms become crossed
In the chill of the moment
Your thoughts become lost

Then in the stillness
A figure appears
Befriended in past days
True through the years

May I gain your attention
May I speak of a day
When a wide eyed young suitor
Did gaze in your way

Your form filled his vision
Your words filled his thoughts
Your spirit filled his heart
With emotions still brought

He did, pray, pursue you
But stood by the way
For your thoughts were of others
And he honored your ways

He settled for your friendship
Lending an ear
Sharing at least
Your joy and your tears

He has not abandoned
Or forbid from his heart
In all of the years
Nor now will he start

Let me stand at your watchtower
And gaze to the west
In silence, be-hand you
And softly request

Let me show you a way
From trials and tribulations
Of your yesteryears
Cast aside your fears

Let me show you a heart
That is filled with love
Concern and tenderness
Has withstood time's test

Let me show you a place
Where skies are filled with rainbows
There are unicorns and butterflies
To fulfill your eyes

You can be there if you want to
Take my hand and walk with me

You can be there if you care to
Close your eyes and you will see

Let me show you a way
Let us be
