The king's kid

I wish

that you had shown me

that I was royalty

I wish

you had adorned me with

that glorious robe of many colors

I wish

that you had told me

that someday the king’s throne

would be my own

I wish

that frequently

you didn’t have to leave

and I go the journey all alone

I wish

That I could say

within me  that

here is a fine man

that you have grown.
