Poem: To Those Who Came Before

Of all the kings' horses,
And of all the kings' men
From the land of his majesty,
To the land of land's end

Ever they trod before,
And ever on knee did they bend
Yet not let heaven pass one,
Yea they could not ascend

But theirs was the role,
Of the righteous stonemason
For what I stand upon,
Yea they laid the foundation

And for the grace of their effort,
I am thankful for that which I have obtained
The last step of my journey,
Back to where whence I came.
