'Til Kingdom Come

When I look at him, I see him

Of course a future is painted within my eyes

Stare long enough and you can see it when

my pupils dilate, when they change

even the slightest tint

But that will never be certain

A kingdom-he’s building

in fear of being overthrown

But, what’s a King without a Queen
To build with him, to support him

But most importantly- protect him

But that will never be certain

He’d wake up to her every morning

Thanking God he risked it all

for them

She’d kiss him every day

Thanking God they chose to stay

But that will never be certain

They’d teach their princess the ways

only they know

She’d have the Queen’s wisdom

and her King’s strength

She’d be his only weakness with the first look

But that will never be certain

They’d teach their prince the ways

only they know

He’d have his Queen’s compassion

and the King’s logic

He’ll learn to protect those he loves

But that will never be certain

Their kingdom will be warped, cracked

and chiseled with

History, Love, Hurt, Compassion, Devotion,

But it will stand and remain

until they pass it down to their own

But that will never be certain

When I look at him, I see us

Of course a future is painted within his mind

Stare long enough and you can see it when

his smile appears just looking at me, when

his eyes show even the slightest emotion

But that will never be certain
