Once Upon a Time...


Once Upon a Time ...

There was a boy.

 

He was just like any other boy

Except for the fact that he liked boys. 

There are endless movies about princesses 

Who get their prince on their white horse,

But he couldn't help but wonder

When would his prince come?

 

He did not have long hair like Rapunzel,

He did not have small elegant feet like Cinderella. 

He did not have a smooth voice like Snow White,

He did not have a talent in swimming like Arielle. 

 

What he did know was that should the day come, 

He would be ready to love him with all his heart.

He would be ready to give tight hugs,

He would be ready to give a shoulder to cry on.

 

And I think that's just as good as any princess,

Don't you think?
