Retirement of a Hero
October 25, 2017
For whatever I am, the treasure I scramble to hide,
What is left of me, but fond memories of better times
Beaten I’ll never be,
Regretful I'll remain,
The long game within my sights,
And the humility I retain.
To have passed your obstacles,
Unchallenged and a bit bored,
The stars shine brighter,
When there's order to restore
