The Making of a Queen

Once upon a time a little girl was born,
She grew into a princess, and then on that fateful morn
She met a handsome prince, long ago and far away,
And they knew they loved each other, and they’d be married someday.

And they lived happily ever after, after the manner of happiness,
Loving and serving each other, the prince and his princess,
And the land begins to prosper, for they are wise, gentle and good,
The prince to rule the kingdom, and the girl to motherhood.

When I was very small, I dreamed that I would be
The princess in the story, with a castle by the sea.
Now that I am grown, I see what it could mean,
To look beyond the princess, have I grown to be a queen?

Will I live happily ever after, after the manner of happiness?
Loving and serving my family, their many lives to bless?
I want to build God’s Kingdom, I want to cherish up His word.
To live happily ever after, I must love and serve the Lord.

Now with my handsome prince we hold our firstborn son,
For now I am a mother, and a new chapter’s begun.
I hold my second child, the light within her beams,
And we face a different journey as our children shape our dreams.

Will they live happily ever after? Am I helping them to see
The way they should be living, what the Lord wants them to be?
Then a voice within me whispers what I never had foreseen,
With this prince and little princess comes the making of a queen.
