What Is It Good For?

You are my warrior. The fighter, my own. Let me be your armour, And never outgrown. I cry for you, warrior, Or one day I might. If you, gentle lover, Are called up to fight. For you would be taken, With no time to think. And see in your armour The slightest of chinks. A chink which could open The door for just one Arrow, or spear... Or kiss from a gun.

Annie, I love the depth of history relating to the arrow to the gun. But many have died when the sword has been run >> James :)
