The Waterfall Maiden Part 2

For everyday since that meeting He came back to peer within And Myla had grown brave And began to talk to him To the voice he listened intently Always wishing that she were real For the times that were spent together Gave a joy he could not conceal The day of the celebration arrived Myla nervous but practiced and sure Her beauty no one could deny And her heart shown so loving and pure When the dance was over and done The orchestra played on with delight But this is where Myla was frightened For she wanted to run and take flight The crowd full of handsome, young gentlemen That all stammered to have a try To dance a dance with Princess Myla All of them did vie But Myla innocent and unknowing Wanted simply to disappear For dancing with a stranger Had filled her thoroughly with fear Her gaze was pointed downward When she heard a voice that soothed And when her eyes looked upon him She smiled for him she knew They looked deep into each other’s eyes As if they had met before But the young prince knew he had not And escorted her toward the dance floor He could not understand his emotion The depth of which he felt This girl that he had just met Had totally made his heart melt Then she spoke a word, just a whisper And a knowing inside him did rise This beauty that was also a princess Was his maid of the waterfall in disguise The dance seemed to last all night For the rest of their lives they did twirl For in the depths of this pond of water This prince found not a maid but a pearl Dedicated to Myla Sydnee Downs Perry a gem of a girl
