There’s a secret hidden place in every princess who longs to belong.
A place she will never tell you about, a place she keeps all to herself, yet you can see it in her gaze when she glances up into your face as she only has eyes for you.
You see it in her eyes when you walk through the door in the afternoon and a smile radiates the room as she jumps into your embrace and wraps her arms around your neck because she’s missed you all day and now glad you’re home.
Yes, you sense her princess place during your evening ritual together before bed; tucking her snugly under the covers, saying prayers and a kiss to last until morning.
There’s no denying, your princess only has eyes for you.
Her princess place of belonging wants you to notice when she’s wearing her prettiest dress of bows and sparkle which sweeps and swooshes when she walks, she wants to take your breath away with her hair of dancing ringlets and makeup which highlights the windows of her soul and smile.
You sense her princess place captured in a frozen memory side by side together in all her beauty just for your noticing, a framed picture she’ll remember forever and keep this moment hidden in her princess place way beyond her innocent years.
Your princess loves to dance and perform for you on her very own stage, vying for your undivided attention to cheer and to clap in your approval of her.
Hand in hand your princess will follow you to the ends of the earth as she only wants to be where you are. She loves those unexpected trips to the hardware store, to the grocery store, even getting gas for the car; it never matters as long as you both are hand in hand together.
Never stray too far as your princess is waiting at the window for your return.
Yes, there’s a princess place in every little girl who longs to belong.
A place she will never tell you about, a place she keeps all to herself, yet a secret haven in her heart your princess wants to desperately share with you, her daddy.
There’s such a small window of time when it’s just the two of you.
You are her one and only, her knight and shining armor, a princess safely cocooned in your heart where butterflies’ sleep awaiting her wings.
Her princess place is that innocent longing for you to notice her when she’s looking your way, when she dresses up and twirls in her prettiest ball gown ready for you to escort her to the dance.
Her princess place is her yearning to be with you, wherever no matter the place, as long as you both are together to enjoy this gift of memories you’ve been given, remembering how fleeting the moments swiftly pass in your brief window of time, if you decide to leave her behind.
Her princess place reminds you to sense the waking butterfly cocooned in your heart whose wings will one day take her away from that place of just the two of you.
There’s a great big world out there for her to discover, and her wings will take her to the moon and back when your window of time is opened to set your butterfly free.
Until then daddy, cherish the princess who only has eyes for you. Don’t take for granted her princess place reserved especially for the only man in her life.
You are molding and making a princess fully alive with your attention and approval of her.
Butterflies need wings to fly; oh, be the one to bless your princess with hers.
