Respect for all

A young prince sets out on his quest
To find adventure and prove his best
Through mountains high and valleys low
He faces trials that make him grow

But an old dragon stops him in his tracks
And imparts a lesson that he lacks
True strength lies not in might alone
But in respect for all, to be shown

The prince had fought with sword and shield
To conquer foes on every field
But the dragon's words cut to his soul
And he realized he had a new goal

The prince thought of all the creatures he'd faced
And how he'd left them all displaced
He vowed to change his ways right then
And become a different kind of prince, amen

The prince continued on his way
But now he looked at things a new way
He found adventure, and foes to fight
But always with respect, and with might
