Mostly frail, she is a tender rose
eager to sprout and bloom
as she dances and sings for a mirror
in the confines of her room
romance and other things of the heart
fill her head with misty dreams
along with the frustrations of this life
that sometimes, elicits screams.
A tear soaked Teddy bear gives her comfort
he listens and never disagrees
offering her warm fuzzy ‘Teddy hugs'
and will even catch a sneeze.
She, is a lonely princess who surveys
from the branches of her backyard tree
and with blue eyes fixed on peach sunset
she whispers, "Sweet Prince, come rescue me."
