Week Four: Waiting for Prince Charming

These little girls were sitting on the sidelines of a dance floor...
The dance floor where a dashing young Marine in full uniform was dancing his first dance with his gorgeous new wife in her bridal ballgown...
And the girls looked on with joy and hope and wishfulness...




stunning glory...a girl who waits...
adoration of one seen
only within the flutter of her heart
tumbling curls...eyes alight
she stirs a restlessness
only for him
how can this waiting be worth the ache?
unknown, unnamed...his love so wanted
barefoot, beauty, satin shine
inspiring...heartbreak...
longing for a prince

Week Four is for all who are Waiting for Prince Charming.
That's all I have to say.
