What Makes A King

I know so many good men who have the potential to be Kings or who have been abdicated of the title. There are great men who miss the mark of kings men, due to minor circumstances that seem insurmountable. A king is one who is supreme in a class or field. Most fathers are kings in the eyes of their wife and children. Businessmen, creators, physicians, peacemakers, peace takers, theologians and orators can all be kings.
All men fall within one of the categories, so why are not all men kings? The choices made. The males wondering the streets can spin a tale of woe and dismay that span the gamut from a faulty childhood to the unsympathetic supervisor.
It is often said that behind every great man is a good woman be it the mother, sister, aunt or spouse fanning the flames of encouragement, support and unconditional love. Those who color themselves to kings with no kingdom purport that they can do it alone and need no one, then alone wallow in obscurity and doubt.
My father was an abdicated king. To my mother, brother and me he was supreme. Superiority went to his head and he abused the title and privileges bestowed. We thought life could not exist without him and later found that life was dead with him. His kingdom crumbled and we were left to establish a new colony and encourage, support and love the kings' prince in the hopes that he would choose well and be seated at the throne.
My father, the abdicated king, wondered the globe and became one of the "I remember when..." paupers sharing memories of life as a king with all who cared to listen.
So what makes a king... a good and faithful queen be she mother, sister, wife or daughter.

Some kingdoms suffer at the hand of poor decisions and or unsuitable mates at any rate a King requires a Queen and the Queen should exemplify the qualities of Proverbs 31:10-31. For a queen minus a king has a superficial reign.
