Psimon Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 ***DISCLAIMER*** This may not be every little girl's dream, but I know that my little girl constantly dreams (both waking and sleeping) that she is a princess waiting to be swept off her feet by a handsome prince and to live happily ever after... so there This is for her... As a father, I hope and pray that her dream may come true. ***End Disclaimer*** A young girl's dream ***************************** A dream held dear to little girls in dress of satin, ribbon twirls Her hair held high upon her head with shoes of glass in which to tread and dance the night from dusk till dawn so deep in love, her suitor fall'n His head turned first this way then that until he grins like Cheshire cat His heart to her from first quick glance in honest suit he leads the dance Careful not to seem precocious false step now would be atrocious His manner proper, handsome face A gentleman of wealth and place His love so true could not deny Unto her words he would reply with truth in all he said and did Her heart responded, 'Don't forbid' till suddenly with bolder chime the bells remind her of the time She turns and flees down cold stone steps and in her rush a foot missteps A shoe falls crystal to the ground he stops. Of her, it's all he's found Away into the night so dark her carriage rocks, she must embark upon this journey lest she's lost but halfway home, the boundary crossed A search decreed from house to home his love declared for her alone that fits the shoe of crystal pure her hand in marriage he'd secure And so to task he set the Duke Cold-hearted ones they did rebuke for fuss and flop with all their might it would not fit, it was too tight The blackest coal dust 'pon her dress was mixed with tears of deep distress as softly wept the maid laid low until the voice was heard below The Duke spake forth demanding all should try the shoe and none should stall 'May I try, please', her voice so soft slowly descended from the loft 'Of course, dear child', the Duke replied as gentle maiden he espied And so the shoe was held at once for tiny foot's convenience Of course we know the shoe did fit and to her prince her heart commit For that is how it came to pass that Cinder's dream came true at last.
