Anastasia

Standing outside the St. Petersburg palace gate, I am withstanding the cold as I patiently wait. May I be lucky enough to see the daughter of the Tsar. Men throughout Europe realize how beautiful you are. On this cold winter night, you can shine like a star. The youngest of four sisters, you are unreachable royalty. I know that a date with you can never be. After all, you can do better than a peasant boy like me.

This speaks of a romantic young boy who's first love is the beautiful princess. He can only love her from afar. Hopefully some day he will meet another more in reach and be happy with her. Great story here. God Bless, JB
