"And we loved with a love that was more than love..."

Love like a Princess

By Amelia Rose

For My Prince Charming

If Cinderella, in old age could remember

Those times of her young love’s bliss

She wouldn’t know what I know now

The bliss of my true love’s kiss

If Aladdin’s lover felt a charmed wind

On her magic carpet ride

She wouldn’t know the enchantment I knew

In your arms, in our youth, as your bride

If Snow White felt joy from her motherly role

Among her seven little dears

She wouldn’t know the love I’ve discovered

As mother to your children, these years

If the Little Mermaid defied waves of dissent

Made by her kingdom in the sea

She wouldn’t know how fiercely I’d fight

If someone tried to take you from me

If Sleeping Beauty in guarded duty

Could wake from her waking dreams

She wouldn’t know fiction from truth

But my reality is just as it seems

If the Beauty who tamed the ferocious Beast

Knew to weather the storms of life

She wouldn’t understand the wisdom I’ve learned

And the love that I know as your wife
