Benevolent Dragon

By: Yvonne M. Wood [email protected]

He rose in the East,
In the year of the horse;
Destined for great things,
Realizing strength, and resource;

He is a compassionate King,
Of all he surveys;
A bright smile to share,
With every new day,

Energy and power,
Of the body and the mind;
Preparing to take his place
From the time he was a child;

Now, he has arrived,
The throne is his to claim,
By gentle determination,
And talent learned, as trained;

He has said he is "the lucky one,"
But the story would seem to be,
That all was predetermined by the Highest Majesty,
That this child should endure and be blessed for all to see.
