My Grail

The Taj Mahal doesn’t even come close

To the treasure it holds inside

I will pick away at the locks that bar

And will try everything untried

It’s a fortress really, that steel trunk

A formidable foe it be

If it takes forever, I will pry it loose

Even if just by degree

I will not stop, ‘til I see it full

And can clasp it with all of my might

The task won’t be easy, I already know

But if must, I’ll continue to fight

You see, that trove under lock and key

Is my grail, my life-long crusade

I will capture his heart and help it stay put

In our love we will then barricade

The lesson to learn is of firm diligence

Despite all the highs and the lows

If you see to the end and your purpose is true

You will win, the Lord Our God knows
