Princess

A young girl giggled as her father read her a bed time story
He read a fairy tale story about a knight who didn’t care for fame and glory
All he cared for was the love from a princess locked up in a tower
Where she had almost no food and water and not enough water to shower
She didn’t have much time
For a witch had cast a spell on her and punish her beauty as a crime
But the knight became her shining armor
He was very brave but not much of a charmer
Not much of a ladies man
But would do anything to take her hand
He defeated the witch
He was offered enough gold from her father to make him rich
But the only thing he wanted was her
Having her in his life made life seem as though it wasn’t a blur
She looked up at him and admitted, “Thank you for saving me but I’m not a princess I’m a daughter from a rich merchant.”
“But you are a princess, a lady with honor, with love, with courage, and with beauty is what I define a princess. I’m no knight but I am a humble servant.”
“I grow crops for farming.”
“I’m sorry but I’m no prince charming.”

She responded, “A knight is a man with courage and loyalty. He comes once in a life time.”
The little girl’s father concluded, “And they lived happily ever after. The end. Just remember that it doesn’t matter who you are, you are capable of doing great things and you can be who ever you want to be.”
“Daddy I want to be a princess.”
“But you are a princess.”
“Daddy I hope my prince is just like you.”
“I hope your dreams come true.”
