My (own) knight in shining armour!
:") I loved 'Your knight in shining armour' by Mr. Fellsman so I wrote this one. ^__^ And I always think we should be our (own) knight, we should be strong. ^__^ Cheers! Ref: "Your knight in shining armour" by Fellsman If your aching heart's been broken I can fix it all for free If your dreams have all been shattered Just leave everything to me. If your friend or wayward lover Has abandoned you, my dear I will help you to recover That I promise without fear. If life's left you bruised and battered I will be your soothing balm Taking care of all your problems And I'll see you take no harm. Should ill fortune come your way That dragon I shall slay Or if you're simply feeling low I'll chase your blues away What e'er it is that troubles you I'll send you soothing Karma You may be sure I'll always be Your knight in shining armour.

Faith and Hope/ By Velvet Lover
I've written the above lines nearly twenty years ago. I hope it can be a humble light for anybody who believes the Earth is a hundred of languages and countries, but apart from each people flags, nationality, uses, folklore, etc...each one of us, human beings on Earth are a single leaf of a vast, immense, and unique, common cosmic tree, fed by only one source of all kinds of Life : the eternal fusion of Micro and Macrocosmos into a powerful will, which can, if well-trained...move mountains!
