The King's New Hope

In days of old, a king of Hope did reign, With joyous heart, he welcomed a new gain. He was expecting a child, a son to bless his days, A future bright, a hope that never fades. In his preparation, plans were set in place, His kingdom joyous, smiles on every face. But fate, unkind, upon him cast its shadow, The wicked world stole his joy, a heavy blow. His son, the light of his life, was taken, Leaving the king utterly forsaken. Devastated, lost, the king lost his way, Identity shattered, no longer to sway. Yet, like a phoenix, he rose from despair, His heart still filled with love, he could not bear, To see two young phoenix boys lost and crying, Yearning for a father's undying love. He gazed upon them with a father's heart, Accepted, adopted, a brand new start. He guided them with wisdom, love, and care, A bond formed, a family, a love so rare. Through trials and sorrows, they found their way, Together they faced each new coming day. The king, now whole, a father to these two, A love so strong, forever it grew. And in the depths of their hearts, they knew, A new hope born, from sorrow once it flew. For in the love of this king and his young, A family's strength, a bond tightly strung.
