---===* For Love of Honor Not. *===---

She gave him loving peace and grace.

And gave his hope a standing place.

But til she comes to share his spot,

They'll speak of love...but honor not.

---===*===---

Strong men have lost at cards and war,

And given lives for less and more.

But few will die for what he's got.

His own true love...and honor not.

---===*===---

It hurts to see her loving heart.

In two directions, drawn apart.

So he shall wait, upon his plot.

Protecting love...and honor not.

---===*===---

A story written, story true.

Of doing all that one must do.

A French lieutenant, charged and shot.

He died of love...for honor, not.
