Queen of Hearts


Queen of Hearts

My blessings are not like that of a Queen's
they're made up of much more simpler things.
She may have treasures of great to behold~
of rubies and diamonds and jewlery of gold.
My blessings they come in everyday life~
the precious gems of mother and wife.
The kiss from a girl who's content to be
listening to stories of fairies from me.
The laugh of a boy who's amused it seems
by the curious things that little boys dream.
The glance from the man that I know I can trust
to protect our "Kingdom" from turning to dust.
No, my blessings are not like that of a Queen's~
they're greater and richer than rubies and rings.
