Mollie Dreams of Being a Princess
Mollie Dreams of Being a Princess
By Elton Camp
Mollie found a tiara at a yard sale
Her dream of wealth likely will fail
Her family is neither lazy nor mean
Their modest home is neat and clean
With parents at minimum wage employed
A middle-class living cannot be enjoyed
They hope one day their ship will come in
But realistically can’t see just how or when
But Mollie looks off into the growing night
And imagines a future prosperous and bright
Chance of fulfillment is really quite dim
It lies somewhere between none and slim
For now, she wears the little crown on her head
For it is by hope and faith that her soul is fed
Years from now, her dream will be shattered
May she learn that hope was all that mattered
