I've been around the world I've seen a million things I've fought in countless wars And dined with many kings. I've seen the northern lights I've counted all the stars Been in 'n' out of Saturn's rings And started life on Mars. I'm fluent in every language I've tasted each cuisine I've stayed in every palace And lived what people dream. I was there when it began And I know when it will end My only enemy is man. Yet you are still my dearest friend. I invented evolution I gave you your first breath I was there at your conception And I'll be there at the time of death.

If anyone ever asks me what my favorite poem is... It's this one.
I remember playing the game Fable II and going through the Demon door within castle fairfax, upon entering the demon door you enter this beautifull world full of nature and at the end of the road a chest. when you open the chest you find this poem.
It was my first poem that I really felt and understood and i will never forget the feeling when I read it for the first time. I was a Child enjoying my childhood game and now an adult still enjoy reading this beautiful poem.
