Wishing

Princess Dream

By: the iHope Poet

Once upon a time…

forever ago

not now

…In a land far away…

a world just out of reach

in my dreams

…there lived a beautiful girl…

could she have been me?

maybe so

Those luscious words

Of a story just beginning

Perhaps I will determine the ending

Right now

Right here

First, tell me

Was there a castle?

Did she get to go there?

Wait, stop

That is for me find out

I must finish the page before

I turn to the next.

…there she wept. Now she would never make it…

it’s all unfair

I wish the tears would stop

…and her Fairy God Mother appeared…

I love magic

we should all believe

…The white palace came in view…

wishes do come true

but maybe not always in the way we expect

If only we

Could always realize

That our chance is right next to us

All we need to do

Is look around

Not back

But here

Then it could all come to pass,

True love,

Magical tears J

I’ll wait, if I must, to have that –

Forever-ness.

…She lost her glass slipper along the way…

there will always be disappointments

I’ve learned to hope anyway

…Even so, the prince recognized her! ...

but happiness can always prevail

if we put our best efforts into our wishing

…So he rode with her back to the castle,

Where they lived happily ever after.

And we will all

Have that chance:

To live a happy ending

And tie up those happy words that began the journey –

Once upon a time,

They lived

Happily

Ever After.

   

I wrote this poem a few years ago. I  can't remember why, but I'd guess it's because I read some fairy tale or another. I thought I'd share it with you...:)
