A King

Once there was a great king;
a man, defined by honor, grace and dignity.
A king with family and friends for subjects,
a king like no other.
But one fateful day,
the inevitable happened.
The king beloved by all,
was assassinated, cut down.
The king was carried to a far away place,
his people’s cries paving his pain.
As he lay lingering, he was rent apart,
his life lost.
A girl, somewhere in the world, opens her workbook
and writes on a sheet of paper.
But little does she know, that her piece of paper
was once a king, like no other.
