As Fair as a Star

There rides the knight in shining armour
With beaming fervour, endless valour,
Scars and scratches compliment whose visage
Black by the dust of acts of courage,
Raising his head, eyes beaming with pride
The sun blesses him with the magic of its light.
And all those legends, who look from afar
Sing of a face as fair as a star.

There sails the maiden with undeterred will
perched on the mast, the quintessential fille,
Who rose above all mockery and scorn
Stunned the world, for the flair she adorns.
Though her face blotched with tears of Fate
The silvery moonlight does wonder create.
And all those legends, who look from afar
Sing of a face as fair as a star.

The laughing child, who laughs no more
Shielded her mother, amidst wild furore,
Parted from life, united with love
Infinite, immortal, in the heavens above.
Though her face deathly still in the casket of wood
Lights up, alive, from the gaze of motherhood.
And all those legends, who look from afar
Sing of a face as fair as a star.
