18 months – 3 years
autonomy vs. shame and doubt
resolution: self-control and willpower
The king is shy
So much attention has turned the king shy
he looks for his privacy at an early age
he feels OK with people, by doesn’t say much
maybe, it is part of his royal demeanor
it’s fine, he’s still quite young
People talk about his sweetness
how everybody wants to hug him and squeeze him
for sure, he’s not lacking attention
he also plays with his friends
just like any normal child
the subjects are proud of him
God has made a good choice for the kingdom
His parents show much affection for him
and his sisters are his two additional mothers
seven and nine years older, they care for him
they used to play with dolls, now they play with him
their maternal instincts already showing
how glad they are to have the golden child
in their arms, with them at all times
He is in his world, and a lovely place it is
they are in his world, or so they think
they are connected by love
and the world spins around
