The King's Coronation

May your reign be successful, your popularity soar, May your country thrive, with peace and more. Through history's lens, we see a king Who's faced with troubles, heart and wing. Revolution, war, and politics too, The crown's weight heavy, a burden anew. With every reign, there comes a test, A challenge faced, a trial to best. And though the past may be long gone, The present's woes still march upon. The coronation looms, a weighty day, A momentous event, with much to say. For though the crown may rest on his head, The king must tread on paths unknown ahead. The world outside is fraught with strife, A changing tide that threatens life. The monarchy's place, now questioned anew, A balance found, yet untried and true. The king must rise, to meet the test, To find his way, to do his best. To hold true to his duties, to his throne, And to lead his people to the fortune. For though the road ahead is fraught, The crown must lead, with purpose and thought. To show the way, with steady hand, And to guide his people, through troubled lands. We join and pray when the coronation nears, That the king will rise, to face his fears. To lead his people, with strength and grace, And to hold true to the monarchy's ancient place. With crown upon your head, a heavy weight to bear, Best of luck to serve the nation being clever with care May you selflessly lead, with noble heart and mind, And work to heal the damage of the past, left behind. Long live the king, may your reign be long, May your rule bring prosperity, love, and song.

Hi Belle, Thank you very much for your comment. Following your suggestion, I have sent to the BBC but I do not think they will publish or read as they run after celebrity. Many thanks
