Princess Matilda had style and grace, she loved her kingdom very much. Her graceful demeanor was revered throughout the kingdom far and wide. But deep down she longed for more. So she took a leave of absence. The King and Queen didn’t understand, but they consented to her request. She journeyed to a faraway place, where her title meant nothing at all. On her journey, she noticed a shelter for abandoned underprivileged youth. She started to volunteer there at once. While she was there she found herself. Serving those kids was her passion. For it was the missing piece to her life. However, she knew she had to return home. She returned home with a broken heart. But she served with style and grace.

well done, Alexis. When one has style and grace, one does everything, even the mundane with style and grace. We should all strive to be more like Princess Matilda. :-) PS I like the name Matilda. It's not a common name anymore but it has a ring to it...good choice.

She was a symbol of style and grace as you so elegantly convey, my friend. She found herself serving underprivileged kids--she was a kindred heart! You wrote a winning poem, Alexis.

A princess who humbled herself to help others. That's a fairytale that should come true. I picture you doing this, Alexis. You've always been humble and kind.
