Graceful

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.
