Prince CharmingA Poem by GSJMy Prince Charming When I was a little girl my mom told me stories about Prince Charming. I never believed they were true. As I ventured into the world, and played the lead role in stories of my own, I became convinced there was no such thing as a Prince Charming; No one would save me and keep me safe and warm, no one to love me just as I am, no one to walk through life beside me holding my hand… I discovered I didn’t need saving. And I thought I didn’t need anyone to hold my hand. Then along came this man. Not the image or shell of a man, but a real man. This one could cry and laugh and expose his true nature. Undaunted by my strength, totally accepting of my weaknesses, he took my hand and did not expect me to follow, did not want me to lead. He walks beside me…MY PRINCE CHARMING. © 2010 GSJ |
