The keeper of a heart


An extraordinary girl

Inner beauty beyond compare

An enchanted carriage and horsemen

Fleeing the telling chimes

As midnight chases the magic away


Although legend holds

She lost her shoe 

In her midnight dash

What she really lost

Was her hope filled heart


Patiently she waits

One day he will come

He searches the kingdom

Far and wide, to hither and yon

Carrying treasured cargo


Nothing so ordinary

As a polished glass slipper

Within his alabaster box

Encrusted with precious stones

It is the keeper of a heart


Once upon a time 

A heart was lost, yet found

The keeper searched diligently 

Until their hearts were reunited

And they lived happily ever after
