A Princess Like An Empress

A princess like an empress
Reigns like a tigress

Endowed with a physical form
Like a shelter from the storm

Her smile so contagious
That makes me completely delirious

Her love flows like a gentle river
Yet needs a good swimmer

Her heart beats wisdom
Her mouth preaches freedom

She sacrificed her royal blood
And builds her kingdom from the mud

Her soul lives in a cradle wrought of gold
And filled with glory yet untold

Her heart opens like a scroll
And her generosity echoes from soul to soul

Her kindness flows like a gentle river
And her personality lingers in my heart forever
