Let Her Be a Princess Today

I know this is different than what I usually post, but I thought I would share it anyway.

This is a poem I wrote called "Let Her Be a Princess Today".

Now I don't write poetry. The last poem I wrote was probably for school, and only because I had to. So please don't judge its lameness!

Your baby girl arrived today

You fall in love in the same old way

Fingers and toes, ruffles and bows

Hold her like a princess today

One good night's sleep is all that you pray

She treats every night like its day

Counting sheep, please go to sleep

Remember she's a princess today

Toddling in that familiar way

All she wants to do is play

Crayons and bugs, cuddles and hugs

Treat her like a princess today

Here she comes, you best make way

She wants to dance in the ballet

Spin and dance, a graceful stance

Dress her like a princess today

Her heart might lead her astray

Pull her close and she will push you away

Boys and cars, dancing in bars

Remind her she's a princess today

Getting ready in a cloud of hair spray

She's about to give her heart away

Vows and love, a gift from above

Let her be a princess today

Give you little princess a big hug today.
