Like a little mouse
She scurried ahead
Black valence in her hand
She didn’t want them to see her tears as she cried
She hid behind a tree
Curtain in her hand
Putting her face into the felt
Wiping her tears from her eyes
Night began to fall
As she sat still under that tree
Guards and dogs in search of her scent as she hid away
Coming close she heard them
As she stood and ran again
She couldn’t let them find her this way
For surely the king would be informed of her moods she sees
The king
Her father
The princess of Riverdale palace
You see a grumpy king was he
Not even a song or smile
For a miserable man was he
Bad enough he shall see her valance ripped away
For truly a miserable soul was he
Lonely and miserable he became
From loss of his beloved queen
Left to raise the princess alone
She knew she could never replace his heartaches
Her mother gone
And a miserable man
A king
Two different worlds
Two different personalities
Not one the same
What could she tell her father
In absence of her mother
Nothing would be the same
Not a women to talk to in girl crisis
A man who never understood her
This change not easy in any hand
She had to find courage
Before the guards see her cry
The dogs scent search getting close
Running along she saw a girl
She went to her and asked her name
Young she was
Only twelve
Her twenty
The girl’s name Ivy snow
She was lost and alone
With no home
The princess learned of this
As she had lost her family
Killed in battle for the king
She had nowhere to go or call her own
The princess proceeded to speak well of her lost mother to this young orphan who was going thru the same
Knowing she couldn’t leave her alone
She gave her a royal place in royalty
Making her Ivy Snow of Riverdale
The guards catching up to them they ran headed back to the palace to hide inside
Her father standing at the gates
Awaiting return of guards
He saw the two girls
He asked what is the reason for this child to be brought forth to my palace
The princess responded
I made her Ivy Snow of Riverdale
For she is orphan father with nowhere to go
She lost her family at hand of your battles
Feeling the heartache of lost once more
The king felt sorrow for such a young child
A young soul
He apologized for her lonely loss
Saying that he understood
He accepted her as his own
As his daughter
Hoped he would
Together healing began
The king feeling purpose could smile again
Hope brought back to his eyes
Song brought back out of account of his hope
A kingdom once lost brought back to life
And Ivy Snow proclaimed by the king as Princess Ivy Snow and Princess Ebony Rose of Riverdale palace
Making a miserable man
A king
Have hope again
Peace overcame that bitter soul
For purpose of loss of the same
Was brought forth in pain
You see when misery is in the air
Love heals what wasn’t there
Even in the deepest darkest of places
Within our mind
The gift of love makes even misery shine
So next time a miserable man comes your way go to him and tell him in love it will be okay
Worst could be he walks away
But at least you put out efforts to revive someone’s heartaches and misery
