The King's Wish Poem by Bryan Norton

Throughout the land at his command
The people heard a cry
On your knees before me please
And do not question why

The people assembled bowed and trembled
When they saw their king
But when they heard their majesties word
Their hearts began to sing

Oh people of this land I've come
To bring you news of the kingdom
The war we fought at last is won
There shall be peace for everyone

There is no cause for fear or dread
The enemy we fought is dead
And I shall take your sons no more
To fight in such a bloody war

The people knelt upon the ground
And offered up a prayerful sound
They thanked their maker all day long
With mighty praise in words and song

And just as quickly as he had come
The king returned thru his kingdom
And from his mighty throne above
God blessed the land with peace and love.
