Symbol to Hold

~ ~ ~

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

Without a care,

I stare at the chair in my hand;

I don’t need a royal throne, grand,

truly, I am content to just stand,

on demand,

at attention.

This chair is a symbol that reminds me,

that Rest will make his grand appearance.

He won’t lean on royalties aplenty,

but he’ll shade and blend well with Ready.

I am a Grenadier guard.
