The faithful knight stands firm and tall in the antechamber. Â He holds still and quiet, alert to any need. Â In the throne room, his sovereign, the one to whom he’s pledged his love and service, works alone. Â He knows the kingdom has become difficult to rule, he knows She struggles under the weight of Her responsibilities. Â He stands quietly, ears straining to hear even the smallest, softest call.
He knows only She can rule the kingdom, and he has every faith She will triumph over all challenges. Â Still, he can’t help but wish She’d call on him for service, however small. Â His heart, battle worn and weary, clenches with despair at the thought that She may not need him any longer. Â Who is he if not Her knight? Â What does the future hold if it does not include his faithful service to Her?
He cannot envision such a future and so, he waits.
