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.
