You might miss him in his quietness
Not seeking power or fame
Self assured, contained within
Humble is his name
But if you take a moment
To consider him you'll find
A heart so great, a soul so deep
A clear and focussed mind
And as you watch him move with grace
You may begin to see
A spirit carried well within
That lives with dignity
And should you look into his eyes
The depths you will not fathom
As he has walked a path the likes
That no-one could imagine
Not a journey for the weak
Lives are lost along this way
A journey only heroes walk
With strength of those that pray
And when you ask about his past
With silent gaze afar
He measures what your heart can bear
Then smilesAlhamdullah
This is a man the rarest kind
Of him history will sing
And to the poetess he loves
He is The Quiet King
