Cinderella Dreams

Cinderella in her kitchen,
all alone with none to turn to
Did her share of hopeful wishing,
of a future bright and new

Cinderella dreamed of freedom,
dreamed of rest and better days
In her lonely little kingdom,
dreamed of gentle words and praise

Cinderella never asked for,
riches or a royal life
Never dared to dream that she,
would one day be a princes wife

Cinderella only wanted,
simple things that most expect
A good home and a loving family,
kindness, comfort and respect
