I peer into the crystal ball,
I see the treasures that I seek,
Deep down there, underground,
In cave, where a dragon sleeps.
Where lightning can be felt not seen,
Where spells and enchantments lie,
Do I dare take this deadly path,
And risk the fate to die?
The journey is an experience rare,
Do I wish to go?
There are lands, yet to be explored,
And useful things to know.
Oh how I long for that treasure down there,
It shall bring my family joy,
Surely theyd never go hungry again,
And my children will have some toys.
I accept this challenge, from myself,
To find these treasures rare,
I start my quest, when it begins,
My eyes widen with a stare.
A thundering booming lion roar,
Like one never heard before,
My thumping heart, like thunder struck,
For this I shall need a lot of luck.
The first step of my journey I take,
But then I think, give me a break,
I do not wish to explore this land,
Ill leave it to another man.
