A Kingdom to Reign (Gwenda5) wk-5

A Kingdom to Reign

For the knights of yesterday

And the royalty of tomorrow

Your expedition soon awaits

To the life that you have borrowed

Know that the world is a cryptic place

That rambles on with good intentions

It will illuminate a path with light

Or show you dark that is rarely mentioned

Sometimes it will turn opaque

Make the trail so hard for you to see

Frighten you with weary shadows

Force your thoughts to turn and flee

There will be days that bring you smiles

Nights that can deliver dreams

A moment that will lead off course

Nightmares that make you scream

So tread on it with stealth-like care

The journey of settings suns

And never fear to veer off course

To trip and fall or sometimes run

These moments make you strong

Scaffold your tower of learning stones

Fortify your sturdy walls

Challenge you in attaining goals

Let the trees in the path fall!

Let the birds in the branches chirp!

Let adventure take its course!

Let the fire in your heart's desire burn!

Make a kingdom all your own

Where you have traveled and laid a claim

Turn the magical wonder in your eyes

Into blind ambition that makes you reign
