Worth highlighting this Shenmue poem (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Shenmue500K/permalink/747640838644956/) I reckon.

The Flame of a Home I Have Never Been.
By Sassi Lee
There are things I've left unfinished
There are things I haven't done
There's an echo in my heart and mind
Of a song I once heard sung
Had I known the path would be so long
I'd still have walked its trail
As I've done so many times before
And never will I fail
To retrace the steps his father left
Now trodden black with vengeance
The rain will soon wash clear again
As his way leads to transcendence
One day we'll see through blurry eyes
A light shine through the doorway
Until then spirits are our guides
And the hurt we feel, friends will allay
We've travelled far, have seen some things
That we never could have guessed
This boy will take us further still
When one day we'll advance his quest
There is more to this, I do not doubt
From home to far across the sea
And never will I lose my faith
That Ryo's life was made for me
Perfecting moves, we've heard the words
Spoken by our elders
Sage advice and wisdom truth
Affords our patience needed shelter
The friends we've all met, lost and loved
We know their faces and their stories
Heard words of comfort, and of pain
Seen his failures, lived his glories
So until the time has come to step
On out into the light
We'll keep his journey in our minds
And continue with the fight
And though I may complain that I
Have not yet met the end
I'll keep on fighting in his style
On that you can depend
