He grins and stutters, blushes and mutters
Joxer's Heart
by Xedra
Whenever she grants him a smile.
He tries very hard to show the fair Bard
he can fight in the warrior style.
Then to his disgrace, he falls on his face,
so clumsy it's almost a sin.
But he'll straighten his hat, say "I meant to do that!"
and try to impress her again.
Things both great and small, he's scared of them all;
he cowers when danger is near.
But if harm did befell his dear Gabrielle,
he'll stand proudly and show no fear.
Because a secret part of his generous heart
holds a place of undying love
For sweet Gabrielle, and we all can tell
it extends to the stars above.
