When You Have Grown
A man without honor is a disgrace,
I looked at you boy and saw my own face,
Alone and cold, taken from home,
Brutally treated and eyes cold as stone.
Boy, know this, I was a soldier,
I fought for my duty over and over,
I gave up my own life, for you to be free,
Now speak of me good when you remember me.
When you have grown, come to my grave,
And take out my sword; be strong, be brave,
Fight for our Arthur and do as I have,
Know when to be a warrior and when to laugh.
My only wish is that I could have lived,
To see you grow into a man,
That I could have taught you,
What my own father had,
But fate was in charge on that frozen lake,
And I fell with honor, I made no mistake.
Remember who lived, Lucan, and who was to die,
Remember what I did for Rome, what I did for my king.
Remember me, Lucan, when you wear my ring.
Here's the past reviews (before I moved the poem):

Very beutiful.
You really nailed his personality, making him quit, observing and intelligent. Very well done.
Dagonet's my favourite knight,and i'm always looking out for more stories with him.

well-written, and almost made me cry sniffsniff
Poor Dagonet... poor Lucan.
I cried when he took the ring from Dag's finger...
so touching. And so is this. Thank you for writing it.

Why on earth aren't there more reviews for this? This is an extremely haunting yet strangely touching poem and I enjoyed it a lot!
I love the way you've given little snippets about his life and the type of man he was and wants Lucan to be.
Super stuff :)
