Untouched and still a dreamer,
She dreams of a beautiful life.
Of a handsome Prince Charming ,
making her his Princess wife .
But young dreams at most are fleeting,
They change from day to day.
Different dreams for different things,
as life changes along the way.
She hasn’t met the dark haired boy,
who will move in right next door.
When one dark night in her back yard,
will chalk her up as another score.
But for now in her friendly mirror,
let her dream what is in her heart.
Soon enough life will interfere,
and that’s when the tear drops start.

Excellent poem that tells us how things will be as one grows from teen to adult. Beautifully written with great flow and rhyme. I like the picture which your poem really fitted with so well. Great stuff.

Good write, very enjoyable read, stark-naked truth

How true your words are...we all dream of the land of Disney when we are young, looking at the word through untainted glasses and dreaming of that Prince to arrive...yet life hits hard and is not all fairy tales
with Knights in Shining Armor, so we live and learn and laugh and cry...but through it all if we are luck we find ourselves and peace...wonderfully written in sad truth...
best to you!

I love the dream...
An interesting contrast of dreams and reality,they often aren't quite as we imagine are they!

Aww .. shame her dreams don't come true! A sad but well written take on the picture
('live' should be 'life' in second to last line)

Thanks, i changed it. Dreams of a young girl are diffrent than a boys. We dream of adventure. Some of us were lucky enough to be chosen . And it was exciting..
