The Princess

Once upon a time in a fairytale,

     a princess had no prince,

So she cried and sobbed and cried some more,

     her sadness she did evince.

The princess saw no happy ending,

     in this story of hers,

She was doomed for a lonesome life,

     or so she did concur.

She wanted a way out of this tale,

     so she hoped and constantly prayed,

But this wishing that had no results,

     brought her much dismay.

She sat and slumped in her despair,

     wanting a different life,

Just hoping she were someone else,

     and rid of all her strife.

But then one day she sat and thought,

     of everything she could do,

To make her happy once again,

     and make her dreams come true.

The princess tried and worked her hardest,

     towards her goals and hopes,

And as she earned her own success,

     there was no longer any reason to mope.

And although she had no prince just yet,

     she had people who were always there,

To make her laugh and make her smile,

     and offer her love and care.

The princess now finally understood,

     that her future would remain unclear,

But that if she lives just in the moment,

     she should not regret nor fear.

She understood that she can't change,

     what happened in the past,

And though her future remains unwritten,

     she can make each beautiful moment last.
