PRINCESS

Once there was a princess

Who lived in a tower.

The princess was sad

In her tower bower,

She stood by the window

Every single hour,

No one anywhere,

Only field and flower.

She could see the water,

The blue, blue sea.

She could feel the breeze

Ruffling the trees.

She could hear birds

And a buzzing bee.

She could see no one.

There was only she.

Winters came and went

Freezing and cold,

Summers followed spring

Then flashing colors bold.

Still she was alone.

The years did unfold.

No one came to her

To smile upon and hold.

The moral of the story?

We’re not meant to be alone.

Run down the tower stairs

And get on the phone.
