I just wanted to thank my good friend Jesse for helping me with this poem, if she hadn't, my rhythm and rhyme would have stunk!

Thanks also to another good friend, Bug, for loving my poem so much! I'm so glad you think it is 'the best poem you've heard in a long time!'

If I Were A Princess

I wish I were a princess,

a-ruling fairy tale land,

I wish I had a lovely crown,

and Prince Charming sitting at my hand.

I wish I had fine sparkling jewels,

and a lovely floor length gown,

so I could look my finest,

and most beautiful all year round.

I wish I had a castle,

and a courtyard full of flowers,

hedges, roses, frogs in ponds

and vines in leafy bowers.

I wish I could make a difference,

and have everybody love me,

it could happen anyday,

you just wait and see!

I wish I could make everybody happy,

not disheartened and sad,

but high-spirited and joyful,

and feel forever glad.

I would punish the wrong,

I would give the homeless homes,

I would fund all of the good causes,

and fit the kind with thrones.

I would try my hardest to be fair,

and strong in time of need,

so that if the time should come,

they would all trust me to lead.

But I would tell them all,

and then they'd forever know,

that God is the Lord of all the world,

and they'd let his love always show.

If I were a princess,

with a crown upon my head,

and all the things I put above,

were as exactly as I said,

then you'd know, without a doubt,

lovely though it may seem,

that all the things I thought above,

are nothing but a dream!
