It would be wonderful
if you were a prince
But you're already
the king of my heart
Your smiling dolphin-like face tears me
Raindrops of memories yet to be had
And many long ago dancing in my mind
On my love, joyful sighs
and saddened smiles
My love is such that
your blinded eyes can see
My ever palpitating heart
at the thought of you
It would be wonderful if they were princes in our lives, or lived as long as princes. But in fact, they were kings in our lives. Practically everything they wanted or needed, we gave them, without complaining. And now, that's the only thing we want to keep doing...whatever they wanted. Kings indeed.
Join us today if you'd like to share how much of a king or queen you made them in your life.
If you can't, share a story of them with someone you love.
