Standing Castle
The castle didn't stand because their household
stood because of him.
The castle didn't stand because he called them
"my family", instead of "my subjects".
The castle stood because he cared about what
they said, felt or thought.
Generations after the King was gone,
the patriotic citizens still protect the castle.
