And so another calendar year is opened to day one
Reflecting on days gone past and paths that led astray
My heart pulses in eager anticipation of change to come
As I liken myself to the mightiest of all majestic kings
Surveying my kingdom with the confidence of a Lion
At the rise of the morning sun
A picture of poise and power as I observe my domain
I shall walk with the pride and dignity familiar to my kind
The bold swagger of royalty ever present in my gait
An untamed instinct in command of my noble demeanor
My newfound strength and ferocity in abundance
As no signs of weakness remain

Wow. Such praise from such a talented writer. I am truly flattered.
John — what a an awesome surprise to find this delight in my reader. I love the way you grasp life and are so supportive of others to do so, as well. So glad I have such a Majestic King on my side. Loved this …. of course, what have you done that I haven’t loved??
Thank you D. I truly appreciate your friendship and kindness in your compliments and comments. His Majesty will always be on your side.
There are few things in my life that I count on or believe without question — but I know what you say is true.
Hope so. Check your email if ya haven’t already. Have a good nite D.
Received and I will be responding before I go to bed tonight!! It will have to be after the Saints game, though! 😉
