The excerpt goes like this...
How can a little boy be a man.
How could the little prince ever make a stand.
So, just when the prince thought he was over an done.
He picked up the note and it said.
To my son.
He took a deep breath.
And opened the note he had found.
And this is what his father, the king, had written down.
To my son,
If you are ready this now, it means I must be gone.
And you are the one that must carry on.
Our kingdom is now what you must see.
And to do that, you have to be brave.
I know what you think, you don't know what to do.
But remember, I was once a little boy too.
I was also small, and fear in my heart.
And I didn't even know where to start.
I couldn't imagine going over the hill.
To face the dragons that wanted to kill.
But don't worry son, you will be just fine.
You can keep these things in your mind.
The dragons really aren't that big at all.
It is only in our minds that we make them so tall.
Inside out brain things always get overblown.
Especially things that are completely unknown.
But when fear settle in and gets a hold of you.
Here are some things you simply must do.
Stand up straight and hold your head high.
And look at your fears right in the eye.
Don't look away and don't try to hide.
Know that you have great strength, deep inside.
When you stand up and go into the fray.
You will feel your fear start to go away.
And though there will be horror you will feel.
The things you are scared of are no big deal.
Veteran warrior, leader of men, inspiration to children, is a man worth listening to.
