The Archer's Bow

He named her Sarah

for her slender-like form 

for her grace left in motion 

and loyalty born. 

He christened her name 

eclipsed in her curve 

and polished her tine 

to further her serve. 

In the hands of her master 

she proudly faced battle 

she bore competitions 

and never fell latter. 

She obeyed his command 

and was faithful and true 

for he named her Sarah 

for reasons he knew. 

He was proud of his craft 

in his hands she had breath 

and the bowman kept Sarah 

till the day of his death.
