A Modern Fairytale
Once upon a time,
A young 7-year-old princess
Waited.
Waited in her tower
Day and night
For her prince to come
Like all the princes
In the fairy tales
She reads
Every night
Before bed.
She waited,
Dreaming of a young boy
Dashed in royal colors.
He never came.
As she grew older,
She learned of things
She had never learned
From reading
Her fairy tales.
Heartbreak.
Jealousy.
Insecurity.
Eventually,
She gave up
On the one thing
She believed in.
Love.
But one day,
A cold dreary day,
She felt a tap
On her shoulder.
She looked up,
Expecting the librarian
To tell her
"five more minutes"
Like she always does.
But there stood a boy.
Looking dashing
In royal colors.
His tenor voice
Rang out
Through the
Silent library.
"I'm sorry
I was late."
