Stolen Flower
A king in his castle
With queen by his side
And child rocking
To a sweet lullaby
The picture-perfect family
With their secrets kept dark
Must face the evil
That bore their crown heir
For the queen was as barren
As the desert wasteland
And the king was not faithful
To his beloved land
His greed and his lust
Brought him to bed
With a powerful fairy
That now wants him dead
Stealing the babe
Away in the night
The king brought home
Aurora his light
Her mother cried out
With a vengeance so fierce
And rushed to the castle
To curse the king’s plan
Three gifts were given
Before the curse fell
And Aurora would never
See either as mother or dad
Sixteen years sheltered
The princess grew
Until the day came
When the needle struck true
No prince could wake her
From enchanted rest
Nor king or queen
Save her mother’s true kiss
Stolen away from a father
That sought her for power
Aurora lived happily
With her mother forever
