I am a Queen

This morning a lovely fellow told me I was like the Queen on a Chess board.

Able to go anywhere and rule the board in her own way

(with little patience for pairing with those who are going nowhere)

but protective of the mildly mobile King

(Those things that move slowly, but are the most meaningful to her and the whole.)

That fellow thought himself a King on a chess board

(A farmer and father and politician)

mildly mobile, but knowing always where he stands

I like this analogy, I cannot deny.
