"The Common King"

Long ago and far from here,
From cross the stars and time,
Came a man of just nature,
Bearing an amulet that did shine.

His name was British,
And he was neither greedy nor vain,
And answering all our wish,
He slew the vile Mondain.

We rejoiced and we cheered,
And we made him our King,
He established peace among men,
And of him I do sing.

But shortly, he left us,
And went we know not where,
Some of us were angry, and upset,
As he seemingly vanished into thin air.

But I know the secret,
And this I will say,
For what brought him to us,
Did again take him away...

For from the stars he came,
And for the stars he did depart,
But before leaving, his knowledge & wisdom,
He did impart.

"Think not of me as gone" he said,
Then pointed to the sky,
At a single, bright star,
That would catch every eye.

"Look for me there,"
"That single, bright point of light."
"And let the Virtues guide you,"
"Knowing I watch over you, day and night."

So for years upon years,
I have looked to the sky,
For the King we all love,
And whose Virtues, we hold high.....
