She imagines her life in a far away land.

Where there's knights in shining armor with dragons to slay,

A beautiful grand castle with fields of flowers spreading miles away from here,

The greatest view in the world.

She imagines a suitor.

Where in areas he matches her perfectly,

A kind and intelligent yet skillful person,

Her prince with a heart gold,

She imagines herself.

Where she is able to roam free,

A million gowns with intricate details,

The crowns with a history to them.

She imagines a family.

Where she will become a wife, mother and a queen,

A countless effort to know everyone in the castle,

The crown she will wear is heavy with doubt but she lifts easily with hope.

She imagines a long reign.

Where she will lead for many years,

A lineage that will strive to live longer,

The country of people who she will help prosper,

She imagines many beautiful things.

Yet a dark future creeps up and the kingdoms greatness has peaked,

Now she can only imagine its fall from heaven.
