I Never Wanted Prince Charming

I never wanted Prince Charming. Did not know about being saved. Felt confident I would save myself. Some day. Be somebody, sometime. But Prince came along. I was six, and not ready for love. He was smitten, and I was irritated. He said he would marry me. I was incensed! We became best friends. Inseparable. We had the same sense of humor. I built him up and he built me up. We built a home together. Raised three daughters who never needed saving. Never needed a prince charming. Because they had one. His name was Daddy. Now it is Dad. He is our hero. Always building us up.
