Why don’t we stay on the “royal” subject one more day? Though this one is not about death and greed, it’s about a wish for all things royal, for anyone who reads it.
As kings and queens is how I think of you all, and I bow humbly before thee.
Your loyal servant,
Sir Jake.
A Royal Blessing
May you sit upon
a throne of gold.
May you wear
a crown of jewels.
May you hold court
with subjects loyal.
And not a court
of fools.
