ok
A fair and lovely princess,
Was born one summers day,
When she was born a witch cursed her
much to the kings dismay
“She shall never find a husband,
Nor have kids of her own,
After you’re both dead and gone,
No king will sit on this throne”
They brought her to a fairy
To try and lift the curse,
The fairy really tried to help,
(Although they thought this might be worse)
“Lock her in a tower,
With tall ceilings and rafters,
A knight will come and rescue her,
And they’ll live happily ever after”.
With heavy hearts the king and queen
Hid their daughter away.
Until the knight could rescue her,
That knight would save the day!
The princess was now older
But she still had that curse!
No new news had reached the kingdom yet,
And her parents feared the worst.
Lots of young men tried to help,
But each one was like the last
Trying hard and failing,
The kingdoms hopes were falling fast.
One day a knight in shining armor
Came riding through the town.
“Excuse me miss, I’ve heard of you,
Would you like help getting down?”
“Im pretty good at climbing,
And though I don’t like to boast,
I can carry you down easily
and some possessions at the most
“Who are you?” The princess cried,
“What even is your name?
Many have tried before you,
And they all failed the same!”
“How do I know you’re not a thief,
Here to steal the throne?
No one is able to rescue me!
I have always been alone!”
The knight dismounted the horse,
And tossed their helmet to the side,
Green eyes stared at the princess,
As she felt her own get wide.
The knights hair was soft and shiny,
And colored midnight black
Her hair was pulled back tight
In a long braid down her back
The knight cried out,
“My name is Layla, I’m not here for your crown!
But if it’s ok with you princess,
I’d like to help you down”
Layla climbed and got the princess,
And they mounted on her steed,
They rode on to her kingdom,
With record-breaking speed.
The royals were so happy,
Their daughter had come home,
They threw her and her wife a wedding,
As they sat upon the throne!
The moral of the story is,
Love comes in all shapes and sizes.
Just take a moment and accept all,
You’ll be in for some surprises!
