One Last Look Poem by Trevor McLeod

One last look is all I have
of our home we built together
were our dreams were born
with one last look I bide them farewell

One Last look is all I have
Saying good bye to the town
where we played and dreamed together
the tree were we shared our fist kiss
the fountain where I asked for your love
I watch as we leave
never to see this place again

One last looks is all I have
as soldiers over run our home
we didn't choose a side in the war
but we were considered a threat
one last look is all I have
because of a fool king fears us

One last look is all I will have
as I see the soldiers arrive
our convoy leaves ahead of them
hoping that we will be long gone
to somewhere safe before they come
but alas it isn't to be

One Last look is all I have
to see you my love
as I turn my horse to face the soldiers
I hear you cry my name
I take one last look
I see the tears in your eyes
I feel them in mine
others ride with me
we take one last look
at what means the most to us
as we raise our blades
and a cry escapes our lips
we bide farewell
with one last look
