THE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER'S STORY.....

Based on a local folklore [:D]

Long ago, in a kingdom, there lived a princess
who, from far and wide, people tried to impress.

There were lots, her name, who used to chant
as in their lives, they eagerly had her want.

Being brought up amidst all sort of luxury
had made the princess detest any form of penury
She refused to thread on the path of compromise
thinking that it was not something nice.

All that she did was to lead a life being carefree
and sidelining things that she didn’t want to see.
Joyous she wanted to be and that was the mantra of her life
and so people around took care so that she never saw strife.

But one day, God decided, as came the dawn
that an angel's role, the princess, to don.
So, he sent her to the life of a simpleton
to make her aware of others worries and fun.

The path was different and in no ways cozy
in no time, the princess started to feel uneasy.
All that she had was wings and wand of an angel
and her difficulties, she had none to tell.

Atleast the pauper thought, the angel,he could impress
and one day, his latent wishes,to her, could express.
For this,he went about, day and night to just toil
without knowing one day, his dreams, the angel, would foil.

All this happened soon as came a u-turn
the angel had to like the princess, return.
The time with the pauper, she didn’t want to look back
as all that she saw what all he had a lack.

Though the angel, the pauper, from his life, went to loose
atleast in his heart, she remained as his eternal muse.
In this world, where all mattered was luxury and money
he regretted that he couldn’t make his destiny.

His worth, by the time the princess understood, he was a legend
as she came to know late and when time had come to an end.
Even though it is is know whether the story is realistic
but its a fact that even now people are materialistic.
