Servant Girl or Princess? (Free verse) by TLRufener
When will my knight
Come on his steed?
Iâm a princess in my castle
Wondering where could he be?
We danced together on air,
At the ball he gave for me;
A sparkling white gown,
My hair up on my head,
The beautiful golden coach
Led me to him.
My knight in shining armor
Knows not who I am.
I ran from the ball,
I left my glass slipper on the stairs,
He is looking for me now;
I hope he looks here.
I am disguised as a servant girl,
And I pray he will find me.
For I long to be his bride,
Together forever we will be.
As we look from the balcony
To the kingdom we rule;
King and Queen forever,
For all eternity.
But I am still a servant girl
Who will always be lonely,
Alone in a world that is so cold.
I live amongst the ashes
And obey everything I am told.
So many places he has been,
Many princesses he has saved,
He has slayed dragons and monsters,
And outwitted sorcerers and magicians.
Could he possibly ever love me?
Or am I to always be a servant girl with so many dreams?
I hope he will come for me;
I have waited so long.
But I am just a servant girl
Wishing to be a princess.
