I may be young on the outside,
But I know who and what I am.
You may be old to the naked eye,
But I'm sure you're aware too.
Even if you have moles and warts,
Or scars, bruises and cuts all over.
If you're lucky to have perfect skin,
Flawless and silky smooth to the touch.
Whether you can't afford anything,
Or you can afford to buy the world.
If you come from a large family,
Or your family is small and humble.
It doesn't matter if you sit on a throne,
Or if your residence is in the country.
All girls are Princesses. The young,
The old, the beautiful, the disfigured.
We are all worthy to be Princesses,
Whether we believe ourselves to be;
Someone in our lives has always, I'm sure,
Called us their little Princess. Someone.

You know what? That is one of the sweetest things I've ever read. I wish the world of women and girls could have access to this poem. This is more beautiful, more inspiring than say.. Martina McBride's "This One's for the Girls", for example. Such thoughtful, amazing work, dearie! *Bows*
ReplyDeleteAwwe, thanks. I glad you liked it. I got the inspiration from a movie. Believe it or not. :D
ReplyDeleteIndeed it's one of the sweetest things you've ever written, it's so nice when you don't watch morbid stuff before writing. :p
