The Queen

The Queen

I sometimes thought she was a mystical creature from another time... 
The way the butterflies enraptured her body that day.
They were drawn to her like a mosquito needing to feed. 
Flying around her feet as she would talk to them and softly giggle...

Child-like she was...
Still believing dreams come true and Prince Charming's do still exist
Where life can be a fairytale if you want it to be

She still saw the good in other's
Forgiving them at the first prick or tenth
Always looking past faults and only visualizing the good

Her voice was strong and powerful 
When forced and needed
But soft and tender too...

She cared for her family
Stood by her man
Protecting them at any cost

Pure at heart 
An Angel's smile
A laughter that would radiate the world 
Brilliant mind 
Hands that always were giving
Song Bird...a voice that melted the hardest rock

She was not a Princess but
A true Queen...

I like how you did this one. I think every princess aspires to become a Queen. Mind you I know a few fellows with the same objective *lol*.
