The Fairy Princess

The Fairy Princess

What does the Fairy Princess do
As she scampers in the dark?
Does she cajole with the tree frogs
Holding tight upon the bark?

Does she swim across the garden pond
And moon bathe on a stone?
Does she have a secret friend she meets
Or is she all alone?

Perhaps she rides upon her steed,
A toad in armor bright.
And they patrol  her kingdom
Keeping it safe throughout the night.

Does she tiptoe through the flowers
Swaying gently in the wind?
Or ride high upon their blossoms
Wishing nightfall would never end?

Does she peer into the water
And speak to all the fishes?
Does she know they are the only ones
Who will keep her secrets and her wishes?

Does she dance beneath the stars on high
And curtsy to the frogs?
Or do the creatures gather round her throne
As she sits upon a log?

What does she do with dewdrops 
Are they her scepter or her crown?
And when she walks among her court
Do they kneel upon the ground?

Sometimes she is very daring
And stays out to close to dawn.
For when she left at twilight
She did not have her shoes on!
