"this poem is not about what is written, but what is not written. . . " 

I carry her in all my dreams.
She is the butterfly queen.
With secrets of her own.
Is her wish for a thrown.
The beauty she has is like
  no one I've ever seen.
Even though she's just a teen.
When I awoke from my dream.
I realized the dream was of me.
                         Teresa Skyles

It's nice how you took the theme and internalized it, Teresa. To have her wish for a throne! A fond wish you must have shared with other young girls. I hope you are having a great fourth of july weekend. LUv, Andrea
