Everybody sees her as a girl,
A little girl so innocent.
Nothing but pure heart she has,
Love remains untainted.
Admiration starts to show,
As the little girl starts to grow.
Older she has become,
Finally called a woman.
She learned almost everything,
She shared her own sufferings.
Used, betrayed, and left behind,
Feeling weak she didn't fight.
One day, fate took pity
And let her meet her destiny.
But afraid she was because of pain,
She refused happiness again.
She went back from where she's from,
Tried to stay where she belongs.
It was her love who came all the way,
Begging her to let him stay.
Thus this once little girl,
Who only dreamed of fairytales.
Never thought she would be
A queen nor a princess.
She was a daughter herself,
Became a wife and a mother.
But she would always be a child
In her memory forever.
