Awaiting verdict,
A flutter begins within.
Perhaps this muster
Will prove too lofty a bar?
Oh, be still my doubting heart!
~
I can see him there,
Standing before his elders,
Bearing scrutiny
Calmly and confidently,
Honor evident within.
~~
Sitting in the dark
After sending him, alone,
Standing tall upon
His merits, not just resting
Upon his laurels,
The warmth of the car is pale
Beside the glow of my pride.
~~~
Outcome regardless,
The flare of my love for him
Eclipses the sun!
