To be Worthy
by KK Sierra
Many men had sought her.
In that wild western time.
Drawn to beauty and survival.
Seeking naught but selfish gain.
Lazy, deceitful, unkind, perhaps cruel.
A means to their wishes.
Skilled hands for hard labor.
Cooking, cleaning, laundry, and dishes.
Or for personal pleasure alone.
For none she spared thought.
To none she gave consent.
She desired only a hero.
A man of self-sacrificing worth.
To be important to him.
Very nice, KK :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim! Always wonderful to hear from you.
