A Novel in Verse

Every child in every town has heard adventure's call

songs and stories of the hero, known and loved by all

but every now and then a stubborn child will come along

who will not rest until they've been the hero in a song

***

But what awaits the child who chases dreams until their end

those who challenge fate with every day they have to spend

would they know the questions to the answers which they find

what of all the family and friends they left behind

***

Should this be a tale of good and evil, or of fate

choices made in moments lost and battles won too late

somewhere on the hero's path he might just go astray

maybe it's a simple song to those who know the way
