Maybe, I just need to know that You’re listening.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe finally grew tired and his grip loosened on the pillow until he fell fast asleep. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe entered through the largest door he had ever seen: wooden, medieval, and to say the least, impressive. He caught the eye of the king, who had just glanced up from a sacred-looking book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Come in, come in,” cried the king, not hesitating a bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man obliged, knelt and offered a whispered, “I am so honored.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ruler seemed on top of his game. He was joyful and excited to see the man and stretched out a welcoming hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Please, forgive, Sire,” said the man, “but I never expected you to be so happy and light-hearted.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Oh, well,” said the king, “the reason for that is simple. I’ve just read the most moving book!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Please, come sit next to me. I’ve been eager to talk with you as I know you have much on your heart and mind to speak to me about.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man’s mind raced and stood still at the same time. Here he was, in the presence of the king, a moment he had waited for. But now, how could he squeeze everything that was in his head into one conversation? Surely, the king’s time must be limited. He was afraid that some royal guard would come in and ask him to leave at any minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I’ve often spoke to you, but not in your presence, my king,” said the man. “I just don’t know where to start.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Well,” said the king, “perhaps I can help you. Do you remember when you were ten years old standing in the schoolyard and you asked me … I can remember it like it was yesterday … you asked me if I would help make you ‘kind?’”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man’s eyes welled up and he began pouring out his heart to the king. His majesty patiently listened for hours on end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the man stopped abruptly, embarrassed that he had taken so much of the king’s time without letting the king get a word in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wise king, sensing the man’s unease, took the man’s hand and looked him in the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“My good friend,” said the king, “be not ashamed of this waterfall of expression. Do you remember what I told you about my happiness?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Yes, my king,” said the man. “You said that you had just read the most wonderful book. Is it the one you were reading when I came in?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Certainly,” said the king, “I’d like to show it to you.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man’s eyes stared in wonderment and shock for the title listed his own name, then the subtitle: “The Prayers of My Son.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Open it up,” said the king.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe man looked concerned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“What is it?” the king mused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Some of the writing is so smudged that I can hardly read it,” replied the man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Oh,” said the king, “a few of my tears fell, some of joy and some of sorrow. But I can tell you one thing my friend, it’s the best book I’ve ever read.” —Copyright © 2007 by Robert J.
