THE VIKING WHO WAS NEVER LOVED
He was a normal man who traveled across the sea
He traded with natives and saw new countries
He's been around twice as the stars twinkled above
A hero to many but he was never loved
He fought bravely when his homeland was attacked
Along with his brothers he pushed intruders back
Even though he has lived to tell about every fight
He still sleeps alone and cold at night
It's hard to smile as his brothers have wives
After victories they kiss the love of their lives
But for him, he has no one to kiss
If he died in battle, he wouldn't be missed
He's seen it all except for that one thing
Someone who loved him to give his life meaning.
