She wasn’t looking for a Knight - she was looking for a sword

I’ve heard many times before that I don’t need a knight in shining armour.

From anyone on the outside looking in that’s who you’ve been. You’ve been the knight in shining armour always there to pick me up when I fall, to wipe the tears from my face and replace it with laughter and a smile.

But you knew all along I didn’t need a knight in shining armour. What I needed was a sword.

The first time I met you, you didn’t tell me I needed saving. You didn’t try to fight my battle for me. No. Instead you told me I owned the crown upon my head and that I’d been holding the sword all along.

Every day since that night you’ve reminded me that all I need is to believe in myself not search for a knight on a white horse. You’ve given me the knowledge that I could fight any battle that came my way and that you would stand beside me not carry me through it but to help me see the strength I already had to carry myself.

You’ve taught me to see my own strength in all my weaknesses and embrace it to become the woman I want to be. My own knight in shining armour and the warrior that will conquer all her fears...To lead my own life and draw my own sword.

The Letter

I sit by my window With everything I've done Doors that I've opened And webs that I've spun

And the candle beside me Burns to the left And the rain on the clay Sends a lizard to its nest

And there'll be a time When I will hold you again With my arms spread out On my chest, you will rest

I'll write you a letter With everything I know About the weight of the world And the way things could go

So give up, my friend Step back again For some things will be given For some you'll have to bend

You'll have to bend, my friend To hold on to this For some things will come easy And some will be a test You'll have to bend

Now the ocean connects me To everything I know By mellowing my mind So my heart, it can call

With these trees as my witness I'll slice up some fruit And each to their peaceful Good intentions and truth

There will be a time When I will hold you again With my arms spread out I will dive right in

So now here is your letter With everything I know About the weight of the world And the way things could go

So give up, my friend Step back again For some things will be given For some you'll have to bend

You'll have to bend, my friend To hold on to this For some things will come easy And some will be a test You'll have to bend

Now the ocean connects me To everything I know By mellowing my mind So my heart, it can call

With these trees as my witness I'll slice up some fruit And each to their peaceful Good intentions and truth

There will be a time When I will hold you again With my arms spread out I will dive right in

So now here is your letter With everything I know About the weight of the world And the way things could go
