Duke's Angel

By: the one and only Tiffany Harders

Dedicated to the awesome KidHeart4 and her character Liz.

How could the human race call,

Such an angel a monster?

Her eyes of the earth,

Are soothing in their depths.

Her earned wings, if not angelic,

Are like those of the snowy swan.

For swan she is and will forever be,

She is as gentle as the angelic bird.

She is not unlike,

Of the ugly duckling of old tale.

She believed herself ugly,

Until she looked within.

Not by choice did she look,

She was helped by a dark swordsman.

A dark swordsman of alien is he,

By the name of Duke.

This dark former thief,

Did persuade her to see.

That she was a swan,

Not ugly was she.

Swan she is these days,

Married to the dark swordsman.

His swan now and forever.
