A Royal Family of Waterfalls

Waterfalls
        They glide down and past, grand
  Just like Queens, in long flowing silk robes...

                      What a sight! 
               They bear majesty too
  Just like Kings, seated rightly on thrones.

                         Fall Segments -
             They wait to take their place,
       Not unlike princes, set to take charge
                          

                            Waterfalls
             They still are their own selves - 
    And live to calm minds of Earth’s beings…



*Fall segments are tiny tributaries of Waterfalls.

Nette said the syllable count was off - but i used her syllable checker - I always do - hey ho never mind as long as people read it that's the main thing.
