Medieval boy, What shall you come to be?

From Tales of Tearmint: Volume 3

OH sweet child of mine

What shall you grow to be

In this dreadful beautiful world

So cruel and kind 

Listen! My words, a guiding light,

To lead you through darkness, day and night.

For in my voice, you'll find your way,

And know my love will always stay.

I can surely see it in my mind,

Yes indeed,

I see, I see, I see

What shall perhaps you come to be?

In this epic long poem that spans over nearly one hundred pages, more than a span of days itself, embark on a loving powerful rhyming song, voiced from a kind, caring mother to her child about what perhaps he could grow up to be? From farmers, candlemakers, perfumers, dutiful knights, generals of war, knavish kings, treacherous thief's, astrologers, teachers, and soft souls, read along to this lovely couplet as a worrying Mother desperately decides and hopes, what her little boy might become. Some are biased, some more-so than others. What pray, will this tale tell? A good man or an evil tyrant? Lessons are learned, respect is earned, peace is traveled too, love is sought, and happiness found. Amazing alliteration, beautiful prose, and a story of loss and fear, despair and death, bright and true, what will this son, as he gets older, ultimately choose what he so desires most?
