Modern-Day Cinderella

An image catches her eye, casually she scrolls A woman, in an antique lace gown and corset Captured in pensive thought, and perusing, with carefully gloved hands She exudes elegance. A quiet, calmness and an element of romance Oh, if only she were a modern-day Cinderella Feeling beautiful and chosen Dressed to the nines in a stunning blue gown and shoes Grateful and blessed, she would be secure in her own skin, and unafraid of her imperfections. Accepted and loved for who she was, just as she was Sharing a simple and happy life with her modern-day Prince Charming There would be no worries about having to rush off before midnight, or that the stagecoach might turn into a pumpkin  or that the gown would turn into a smock and apron Honesty and vulnerability would be staples in their relationship. As well as mutual trust, respect, forgiveness and understanding A true commitment. And a lasting, soul-binding love That feels like a fairytale February 20, 2021
