Portrait of a Young Princess

Weeping for no one, the great
near-sister sobs, "Go, Queen, and find
all the pink jewels."  Soon they are
found, examined and named:
Little Pink Fish,  Aurora of Evening and
Forest Fire Sky.  They are gathered
and brought to the princess.  Her
beauty is her face; she is only five.

She often goes from great to ungrateful.
Then, being sorry, she will inquire,
"And will a palace be up and built?"
while wiping tears from eyes of
tanzanite.
