He will rise to lead
his nation
to greatness
He will serve
his queen and heirs
by standing firm
keeping his word
and controlling
his spirit
He will guide his people
through wisdom
with knowledge
only he may
possess,
for kings do
not deal in
common things
Secrets revealed to him
are on a higher plane,
a riskier level
War is ever at his gate
Strife sniffs at his table
Death watches his bed
and yet, his people
love and honor him
for his integrity
and fairness
they delight in
the peace at their borders
and their countenances
reflect his prosperity
Long is he revered
and with bittersweet
Mourning he will be
remembered
such is
the legacy of
strong, wise
kings
Beyond Panic
