Born into a palace

with servants of every sort

a cook

a maid

a gardener

a stable hand

Her hair flowed to the ground

the color of golden straw

Lips like strawberries

sweet and luscious

---

The land of Contentment

was her beginnings

Ever so beautiful

ever so grand

Her father was a king

one of great valor

a heart filled with kindness

Her mother a queen

beauty unrivaled

a disposition that matched

She had one older sister

and one younger

They did not posses

the beauty of the princess

but equaled her 

in character

She was a kind princess

a loving soul

It is a world beings

dream of

One inhabitants hope never

to wake up from

---

The princess walks amongst

the commoners

with no airs

Some despise her for

her beauty but she takes no

offense

She is grateful for the 

blessings she's been

given

She listens with an open

heart but walks away

when she senses harm

will befall her

She does not judge

and will not give weight

to those who judge her

---

She has many friends

but has yet to meet her prince

Many have courted her

none have earned her heart

She needs a mate as tender

as she

one with romantic flare

a master of banter

of play

She knows she will meet 

him someday

For it has been promised

So she lives her life as content

as her land

No need for a man

Each day

better

than the other
