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 To see this poem with its accompanying picture, go here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/131608615/Mollie-Dreams-of-Being-a-Princess
