Check Mate
Check Mate
King, strong and tall, sits in the center
Throne studded with precious stones that glitter
His Queen, perfect in elegance and poise
She, his partner by choice
Kingdom to rule, people to care for
Warrior with strength, loads in store
Protecting his people, world tough and scary
He the Father, always in control, never weary
Sets rules to follow, leads by example
Team to admire – this royal couple
Today – kingdoms and empires extinct
A shrunk world, very closely linked
Kings and Queens, today your parents
Guiding you and helping make amends
Protector, mentor, provider all in one
Blessings for every challenge to be won
Chessboard the world checked all thru
Black and White blocks much newer
Game of Thrones, each one at play
Out to kill, wonder who will eventually stay
Intelligence the tool, claim to victory
Each one struggling to write their own story
While one wins another loses – Check Mate
Fate changes from Date to Date.
