Raising Royalty: Princess, Queen, Prince, King

Princess
Queen
Prince
King
Of all the fine and glorious things
Born into royalty
Yet many don’t see
But the difference starts with you and me

Kindness is free
It doesn’t cost a thing
Yet we forget to hand it out
We forget the happiness it brings

We treat others like they are peasants
We ignore those who value us dear
We point up our noses
When someone needs a helping hand

To be raised in a castle
Yet not play our roles
Teaching the youth that follows
How to be so cold

A prince is a son
And a son looks up to his King
A King is a father
That the son aspires to be

A princess is a daughter
And a daughter looks up to her Queen
A Queen is a mother
That the daughter aspires to be

To be raised in a castle
Yet not play our roles
Teaching the youth that follows
How to be so cold

Sometimes in different households
But the titles are still to be had
Love your child’s father
For he is their dad

A boy hopes to be a man
But he cannot be
If his King isn’t allowed to teach him
How to be

How to love a woman
How to treat others with respect
How to live his life with dignity
And his past to never forget

A prince is a son
And a father is a King
Yet lessons can’t be learned
If you won’t let this bond be

Miles away the Queen may reside
She is a queen in her very own right
Sometimes in different households
But the titles are still to be had
Love your child’s mother
For she their mum

A girl hopes to be a woman
But she cannot be
If her Queen isn’t allowed to teach her
How to be

How to love a man
How to treat others with respect
How to live her life with dignity
And how to always have respect

A princess is a daughter
And a mother is a Queen
Yet lessons can’t be learned
If you won’t let this bond be

So love your son’s mother
Love your son’s dad
Love your daughter’s mother
Love your daughter’s dad

For each is royalty
And the child is too
Despite the different residences
That may separate the two

Kindness is free
It doesn’t cost a thing
Yet we forget to hand it out
We forget the happiness it brings

To be raised in a castle
Yet not play our roles
Teaching the youth that follows
How to be so cold

Princess
Queen
Prince
King
Of all the fine and glorious things
Born into royalty
Yet many don’t see
But the difference starts with you and me

  1. So many dysfunctional families and families that are just not together. A lot of kids grow up lacking one side either the father or mother and they just grow up not knowing what the other side is because it was not in their home (or it may be in their home, but it is a bad representation of the Adult man or woman). That’s why when I have a family and have a girl or boy or both, I will try very hard to show them what a real man is (which will be especially important if I have a little girl) and to always respect and cherish my wife so my son will hopefully grow up and do the same to his wife and how a father should love his kids and family. Always tell my little girl she is beautiful, smart, and intelligent everyday so she doesn’t look for boys to tell her what she already knows and no matter what always respect herself, do not conform to society’s idea of beautiful and my son to not conform to what “makes” you a man. Always tell them to love yourself, be kind, be humble, show humility to others, never think you are better than anyone else, have your own mind, don’t follow the crowd, be yourself because you were uniquely created, dream, anything can be accomplished if you set your mind to it, love each other, be there for one another in good and bad times, never forget where you come from and remember those less fortunate. Have values and stand on them. Just really to be their own person and be kind because the world needs more of those type of people. Nice one.

    1. Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the poem. What inspired it was that so many times people have children and then the parents fall out and do not get along. Bitterness usually causes a parent to deny the presence of the other parent in the child’s life…. Which is wrong. Some women even go on, have the child, and refuse to tell the man about the child because they do not want that person in their life or they feel as though it is just too much drama and it is better off that way…. I was really just thinking about how really important it is to “Let those bonds be”. Each parent should treat each other with respect because the child will learn from their relationship whether the parents are together or not…….
