Princes and Princesses
I see my siblings
they’re getting older,
bigger, sweeter
I can’t help but smile
as I watch them grow
It’s almost as if they’re my own
The four of them together
they play,
and they fight
Yet they remain apart of my royal kingdom
I wonder who they’ll be,
who they’ll marry,
what they’ll do,
how they’ll change someone’s world
I pray for their happy innocence
to remain
So that the harsh reality of this world
won’t kill their rich spirits
I want them to learn to pray
and accept their Savior as their own
I want to leave this place knowing
they’ll be ok
Knowing that someday together
we’ll hold hands
and walk the streets of gold
I need them to understand
what love is
So that they know
I’ve always, and always will
love them
They are my Princes and my Princesses
they are the jewels in my crown
my reason for breathing
