The Boy For Autumn Becomes a Man

The boy lay asleep
So very young
In a castle keep
His story begun

An Earth King
With the strength of two castles
Began the passing
A crown for his son
His story begun

A boy , grew
Strong and tall
For, amongst the trees
He felt...
Heard their call

Everyday
A joy
So many new things
To discover
To learn
About his surroundings
Heartstone
What it all meant
For this boy

The beauty of trees
The seasons
A time to create
All he had learnt
From the wise ways
He could not wait

The growing of a boy
To man, you see
Steps learned
To one day
Become a King
Your Majesty....

Such exuberance
Tempered with maturity
A boy
Became a man
Became a king
Filled with love
and humility
