As she sets there staring at her hand,
her mind wonders far away.
After having three kids now grown,
she remembers another day.
When she felt just like a princess,
and had dreams that were so grand.
Now where those dreams went to,
she does not understand.
The kids are on their own now,
and hardly ever called.
Her Prince Charming drinks to much,
and is getting fat and bald..
But as she dreams of her younger days,
and the things that she had planned.
In her minds eye she can plainly see ,
her dreams dancing in her hand.

Excellent work here..It takes me back in time to a place I felt for sure dreams had really come true..only to find I was wrong.
Thank you for sharing an enjoyable read!

A delightful poem filled with a sense of sadness and loss. Her memories pulling her back to years long gone when she was indeed a beauty. Te picture is certainly a twin to your piece and you managed to bring a smile and a tear to my eye at the same time. What a glorious write again with top flow and rhyme. I also want to wish the very best in the contest.
