Okay, well I had another Padmé poem written, but unfortunately my computer erased it, so this one here isn't Padmé, I'm afraid.
Oh and for some reason, the format went screwy on the last two poems and made them left aligned. GRRRR!That wasn't supposed to happen in that case. I know the format may screw up, but please concentrate on the content instead.
Thanks millions to any reviewers so far, I haven't replied to reviews, but I will this time!
This one is actually Leia's POV, partially explaining her remembering her mother, and her feelings toward being adopted... well, you'll see. In between ROTS and ANH, obviously. Anyway, enjoy, "The One I Never Knew" and REVIEW!

The One I Never Knew
I asked Daddy about my Mommy
The one I never knew
He smiled kind of sadly
And said, "She was just like you."
I don't know who my Mommy was,
The one I never knew,
I wonder if I somehow I met her again
What Daddy told me would be true?
My Mommy is a Queen
She loves me, I know
She helps me dress for school everyday
And shows me where to go.
Daddy said my Mommy was a friend
He knew long ago
I think about what she may have been like
As Mommy straightens my bow.
My Mommy is a Queen
I asked her if Daddy's words are true
She nods blissfully and strokes my back
"Leia, your parents loved you."
I loved Mommy and Daddy
But I wondered of my father and mother
When I was lonely and bored in the ornate halls
Without a sister or brother.
Once I asked Daddy why Mommy died
Preceding our long talk, he sighed
He told me that Mommy wasn't well
It was the first time I'd seen Daddy cry.
I wished that I could talk to my real parents
The ones that couldn't stay
The ones Daddy said "were happy together"
Until their lives slipped away.
But then the dreams came
And suddenly I knew
The Mommy I never knew
Really loved me too.
She seemed to be right by my side
Though I'm not sure how that could be
Comforting me, being the Mommy
She never got to be.
My Mommy was beautiful
I saw her in my dreams
But she was kind of lonely
And very sad it seems.
My Mommy was a Queen
The one I never knew
And I'm not sure how I know
But she was an angel too.
Okay so after I uploaded this I got really mad at the computer because the formmating was everywhere. I swear, it looked like a nexu had ripped up the poem! I tried to fix it... But it didn't work. Alas, it's left aligned.
How was it? I prefer Leia over Luke, so here this is. REVIEWS?
