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
