I sit here pondering the destiny I left behind,
The glory shining brightly,
While I slowly lose my mind.
Then I see the shine I lost
Gleam in her fading eyes,
As she drifts into peaceful slumber,
Knowing only innocence and love,
Wisdom beyond her years.
I see the need she has of me,
And take up the quest I abandoned.
I become the Knight, the King, the better part of me, and throw destiny in the wind.
