When I was a little girl My Nana would read  the most marvelous  stories to me. Stories about lands far away. Mystical creatures that legends have been made from. She would sprinkle fairy dust on my head and say”Come with me my granddaughter. Let’s explore and travel to these places in our minds.”
Happily Ever Afters. Those were my favorites. So began my journey of finding my Happily Ever after.

I am a little Princess
Looking for my Love
Bending down upon me knees                
I pray to the stars above.

Help me find My Knight
A Prince who will be true
A Pauper who is honorable
This I ask of you.

The stars they glittered
Shone bright up in the sky
I sat there and I wondered
If they would even try.

As the years went by me
Not a answer was ever heard
Praying to the stars above
Became really quite absurd

No Longer am I a Princess
Just  woman with a dream
To find My Happily Ever After
I felt hopeless so It seemed.

Then I found this Teddy Bear
and I had to hug him Tight
In his eyes I saw the Love
I knew this was so right.

Tonight bending down upon my knees
I thank the stars above
For they answered all my prayers
And sent me My True Love.



--------------
You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King

I can see your Nana sitting next to you as she reads.  Lovely verse from you.
