Untold Prologue of the Tower Princess


Once Upon A Time

In a little town real cold

Lived a little poor princess who only owned a small piece of coal

Every cold night she'd whisper a prayer

To her God that lived so high in the air

But this night was different her prayer was heard

Not by her God, the cricket, or the nosey old bird

But by a crippled old lady that had just lost her herd

The little old lady took the girl in and showed the princess her own beauty

Which was found with in 

As time flew by her confidence grew

But far too much the old lady knew

She told the princess of her conceited new attitude 

And warned that she soon could be sent to a new altitude

Every day it got worse and her head kept getting bigger 

To becoming so self-obsessed that the old lady was triggered

The old cripple lady took a walk into town and made a bargain with a wizard

He couldn't turn down

A tower was built with great height it had

Built only for one; it was cold and so sad

Before locked away the old lady said

The only way to be rescued is to become humble again

She tossed the princess a small piece of coal and locked her away 

And returned home to continue her day

Time went by and the old woman died 

The princess was finally humbled and rescued by a nice handsome guy

They got married and had a child with a soul pure like the old lady

And lived happily ever after with their beautiful newborn baby
