From Soot To Riches

FROM SOOT TO RICHES

Cinderella lost her tiny glass shoe,
And after the ball there was much ado,
To find the owner it took
A while, she was sitting in soot
A princess she was made and no longer blue.

Hi Lindsay, I'm certain that those who get a lucky break are indeed happy, what worries me, is that not being used to dealing with fame and money, their lifestyle sometimes takes a turn for the worst! Thank you for your apt comment. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
