In a quaint village, a tale unfolds,
A fair man from an old pilgrimage strolls
With his wife, sweetest in the land,
Clock makers, shaping time from grains of sand
A hardworking duo, love in every chore,
Adopting a fur-clad cat, cute to the core
Children and villagers adored their grace,
Planting crops and trees, life they'd embrace
In their deeds, the village found its anchor,
Donating, building, guardians for the children's laughter
Through the years, love in their hearts grew,
Kindness and warmth, a timeless hue
Yet, a test arrived, ominous and dire,
Attackers surged, setting the village afire
Panic echoed, families in disarray,
The couple stood firm, ready to sway
Weapons drawn, battle in broad daylight,
Against the invaders, they waged the fight
As attackers withdrew, a fatal blow struck,
The couple stood strong, but injury ran amok
Blood-stained and weary, their sacrifice clear,
Villagers and children emerged from fear
In her eyes, a soft gaze, a tender guise,
Hand in hand, their final goodbyes
Together they smiled, love never to fade,
In the village's heart, memories laid
For in sacrifice and a love profound,
The couple found peace on sacred ground
