Your mother was the princess,
But now she is the queen.
So it's your turn, sweet baby girl
To take over that scene.
I never met a princess
Who was only in her twos,
But it's very plain to see
You were meant to fill those shoes.
You may be very little yet,
But you've already shown
That you're the only royalty
That's sitting on the throne.
You've got one brother older,
One younger brother too,
But when it comes to princesses,
They haven't got a clue.
So reign supreme, my princess.
As pretty as can be.
For you're the only princess
On this branch of the tree.

So Sweet!
This poem put a well-needed smile on my face! Even though I could not personally relate to it, I understood the emotion and what you were trying to portray. I'm sure your granddaughter fits this poem perfectly. Little girls should be treated like little princesses!
You write beautifully and I'm glad to have read something happy, so many poems are about sad topics these days. Thanks for commenting too!

This poem is sweet beyond words!
The words used in it are great, and they're straight from the heart!
I am staying at home to get prepared for a Romanian language contest on Saturday(really big deal), and I had to comment a poem from one of our nation's great poets: Stefan Octavian Iosif. I now notice that you write in his style...this poem has the same rhyme scheme his had(second and fourth lines rhyme in each stanza), even though the ideas differ.
I was looking at the first stanza, in which the rhyming style is different: first and fourth rhyme. It sounds well as an introduction to what you're about to say, but if you can change it so the first line would rhyme with the third, it would be even better. I love it this way, too, don't get me wrong! I love it all!

Lovely
I like the moral to it, especially the end. Very loely, and I'm sure your granddaughter will appriciate it. I don't think it really has to be good for her to love it (I thought it was excellent anyway. Don't think I'm saying it sucked) When she grows up, I think she will remember the thought that counts, and how much you care, not the quality. As long as she knows you put all your effort, heart and soul, into it. By the way. I liked "reign supreme." Interesting selection of words. I like that.
