A Man’s Castle

Away from the hustling and bustling crowd,

He opened the door and entered his castle

And locked the crazy world outside.

Now to concentrate on what is inside.

Because within these walls lies his all

The family that he loves most dearly.

For in his castle he reigns as the king

With his other half, the castle’s queen.

Together they rule in their domain.

Thus side by side they stand,

Not one above and the other below,

Or one in front and the other behind.

If only as his nightly paradise

Within his walls, he enjoys his sanctuary

There in his castle in bliss he stares

At portraits of many revered ancestors

That decorate his castle walls.

And often he would mumble to them.

“Look at who you have made possible.”

Then he would point to, or touch

Some of the infants, or later birth

To link the early past, to the tranquil now.

Often, he would take the princes and princesses

And teach them the chain of the generation.
