Analysis of The Little Princess



Today is such
A special day
When the sun comes
Out to play

The dragonflies dance
On a magical stage
The birds fill the air
With the promise of change

The beautiful ocean
Laps around me in waves
The butterflies flap their
Wings with such praise

The little girl walks
Holding her daddy's hand
He calls her his princess
Of a fairytale land
