An honest king requires an honest heart.
You complete my heart. You, my dearest friend.
Will you stay my friend? Will you walk all parts
of this great land with me? Stay till the end?
Touch our peoples’ hearts? Clasp their caring hands?
What’s required of kings and queens only God
can measure: nurture how we serve, command,
consent, defend, preserve this precious sod;
work with all to benefit all as best
we attend. Will you be my queen…our queen?
My one lover? Discover what great quests
lie ahead? I vow this to you: to sow
love in all ways, in all ways help you grow.
