Two Ordinary People

You were no Cinderella at the ball, But, then, I was no Prince Charming, I recall. We were two ordinary people Who fate and chance had brought together, But by the time the dance was through, We'd found romance and we both knew That for two ordinary people It was like a fairy tale was coming true. Ensuing years have proved that life is not a dream, And all that glitters is not gold, as it once seemed. But when two ordinary people Vow to join their lives together, Then all the ordeals they'll withstand If they face them hand in hand. That's how two ordinary people Make the magic work without a magic wand. I'm not a prince and you are not my princess bride, And I couldn't slay a dragon if I tried. We're just two ordinary people Who kept a vow and stayed together. But when it's blessed by true love's kiss Ordinary can be bliss, And when I think of me and you I know some fairy tales come true, And even ordinary people Can have a happily ever after ending, too. Author's note: Dear reader, this is another of my personal favorites from yesteryear that was also selected to be included in the first PS anthology.
