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.

Ilene Bauer September 1, 2022 at 1:26 PM this is a kickass poem, caren! (don't know if i'm allowed to say that, but that's what i'm thinking)... Caren Krutsinger September 2, 2022 at 2:11 AM Ilene, you just broke all the dhrammned rules!

L Milton Hankins September 1, 2022 at 9:41 AM Aw, such a marvelous poem you've written about Joe, Caren. I'm know that he is a stellar man, husband, father. I like Joe a lot. I follow him on Facebook. He and I would have a great time talking with each other. I would listen, he could talk! Caren Krutsinger September 1, 2022 at 11:20 AM He is not a big talker, but when he says something we tend to listen. He never had a girl cousin. He was surrounded by boys. We were a shock - me and three daughters.
