Yes, you.
Not a frills-and-tea-party,
Uptight and materialistic princess,
No, not at all.
But you are a princess,
Nonetheless.
Not a bossy and boring,
Perfect-spiral-curls in your hair
And diamond tiara princess,
But a princess,
Nonetheless.
Ordinary princesses might
Dine at exotic restaurants,
Napkin folded neatly in their laps,
Knowing which-fork-to-use-when.
Not you, no, not at all.
It's certainly a blessing
That you are no ordinary princess.
But you are a princess,
Nonetheless.
You are attractive
And not just in the shallow
Skin-deep and surface-only way.
No, you are more than that.
You are a princess.
You are stunningly beautiful
With a natural smile;
Respectably gorgeous
With a modest style;
Infectiously enjoyable as giggles
Sneak out and erupt into laughter.
You are not a princess
Surrounded by pretty things
Which should not be touched
And polished jewels
Which were not earned.
No, not at all.
Your mind is active;
Your soul beckons you
To rise up
Out of the mold, the label, the stereotype
Of an ordinary princess.
Above and beyond
Aesthetic surroundings
And popularity polls
To a level of Heavenly royalty
Not recognized on this earth,
Not appreciated by mere men
But adored and sought after
By saints.
You are not a figure-head
Or place-holder in a political arena,
You are the chosen daughter
Of the One True King.
You are an
Extraordinary princess
And we are honored
To have you as our daughter.
