Patient Suitor for M'lady Emma.

Tetrameter sonnet

A patient suitor.

 

Moonlight was my homeward escort.

I felt no need for company

Strolling slowly deep in thought.

An idea struck me suddenly.

I need no man to protect me.

Here in the quiet countryside

I can walk alone in safety.

Although sometimes I decide

To let a friend accompany me

He sees me safely to my door

Its choice and not necessity.

He’s just a friend and nothing more.

Although I know he’d like to be

 more than a friend and marry me.
