He is and will always be mine to command,
I may someday reach down and let him hold my hand.
I will bound him in chain,
His loss may be my gain.
I will throw him in a cage for all eternity,
And while I'm at it, I'll throw away the key.
But still he will have no yearning to be free,
And not a thought in his mind is of mutiny.
Then again, life is just a game,
But, even so, if I let him go, he will never be the same.
