Dedicated to my daughter with love
~The Little Princess~
Within
this
life
I
offer
Heart's
castle
in
the
sky
No
one
there
to
hurt
you
This
refuge
way
on
high
With
little
wings
to
guard
you
Keep
you
safe
from
harm
My
precious
little
princess
Safe
within
their
arms
Castle
there
to
keep
you
Safe
from
all
the
pain
No
one
there
to
hurt
you
Life
with
softest
rain
Love
to
share
forever
Wherever
you
may
go
Little
ones
to
follow
They
rest
on
your
pillow
Treasured
there
forever
But
always
very
near
My
very
special
princess
My
love
for
you
so
dear
Happiness
surrounds
you
In
place
where
peace
resides
Safe
from
all
the
world
now
This
dream
my
love
provides.

POETRY~EMOTION
The Little Rebel
Joseph Ashby-Sterry (b. 1838)
PRINCESS of pretty pets,
Tomboy in trouserettes,
Eyes are like violets,
Gleefully glancing!
Skin like an otter sleek,
Nose like a baby Greek,
Sweet little dimple-cheek,
Merrily dancing!
Lark-like, her song it trills
Over the dale and hills.
Hark, how her laughter thrills!
Sp> Joyously joking:
Yet, should she feel inclin’d,
I fancy you will find,
She, like all womankind,
Oft is provoking.
Often she stands on chairs,
Sometimes she unawares
Slyly creeps up the stairs,
Secretly hiding:
Then will this merry maid—
She is of nought afraid—
Come down the balustrade,
Saucily sliding!
Books she abominates,
But see her go on skates,
And over five-barr’d gates
Fearlessly scramble!
Climbing up apple-trees,
Barking her supple knees,
Flouting mamma’s decrees,
Out for a ramble.
Now she is good as gold,
Then she is pert and bold,
Minds not what she is told,
Carelessly tripping.
She is an April miss,
Bounding to grief from bliss;
Often she has a kiss,—
Sometimes a whipping!
Naughty but best of girls,
Through life she gayly twirls,
Shaking her sunny curls,
Careless and joyful.
Ev’ry one on her dotes,
Carolling merry notes,
Pet in short petticoats,
Truly tomboyful!
Joseph Ashby-Sterry (b. 1838)
