Dear Little Girl

Remember those fairy tales you so dearly love?
Yes, that’s right.
The one with the happy endings and happily-ever-afters
Pay close attention to how the story unfolds
for hidden amongst the tiaras, glass slippers and
fairy godmothers is a life lesson to be learnt.

The path to true love is a cobbled one.
At times it is riddled with potholes to make you stumble
overgrown weeds to hide the way and
ugly toads that don’t turn into your Prince Charming.

Be patient, little one.

For just around the corner, he waits
Unexpected and unaware, he comes
Stumbling, smiling into your path.

Into his eyes you’ll look
Through to his soul you’ll see
This one, this time
It’s meant to be.
