If I had my way 

I would be princess for a day

I would put my tiara and necklace on and say

"today is my very own holiday"

I would make the grown ups go away

so I may play princess all day...

Michelle Webster 6 yrs old 2010

I love this poem!!!  Written in 2010 by my then 6 year old grandkiddo Shelly...  She had to write a story using all her spelling words, and this is what she came up with...   What girl wouldn't love to be princess for a day...   I know I would!!!   I love the line, I would make all the grown ups go away so I may play princess all day...  Here I am at 53 and there are days I would love to make all the grown ups and the grown up responsibilities just go away...   There are days that I do just that...   

Its kind of funny that when I think of being a princess my first thought is being outside with the birds and wild animals happily all around...   To be able to just be, with no particular chore that has brought me outside, and to be able to enjoy the sunshine, birds chirping, and wind blowing with not a care is what I think of as a princesses life...   Oh and there would probably be some singing,  and dancing too...  

Then there are the other days where I am Queen...  

   There are things to plan, things to get done, and the life of a queen is not as much fun...  

No time for the birds, and no time to sing,  just keeping up with all that's happening...

Dishes to do,  laundry must get done, no time to waste or to bask in the sun... 

Bills must be paid, mail must be sent, no not today that moneys been spent...

The life of a queen is full of decisions... and filling the home with needed provisions...

day in and day out, the castle she runs... 

Thank goodness princess charming knows how to have fun...

Prince charming reminds me to stop and to breathe,  to enjoy all the beauty that our castle brings

to take moments in time and spend them outside, Do watch the birds and the squirrels go and hide

Prince charming says I was waiting for you, when i was building this castle for two...

So today I am reminded that I don't have to play, because I get to be a princess everyday...  

So for now  I guess what that means every once in a while i will have to be queen... 

  I do live the life of a princess...  Oh and my Father truly is King!!!
