Does the Prince Know

Does the prince know what he would leave behind
if he were to die tonight in his sleep?
Does he know how his parents hearts would decline;
or how many ladies would weep?

Does he know of the quests and battles
he has yet left untouched?
Does he know of the legions of friends
to whom he has meant so much?

Does he know of how his brothers dreams would darken
wishing he could have done him right?
Does the prince know life is so much more
than a collection of days and nights?
