Fairy Tale Love

Once upon a time, a young prince
Rode his stallion into town.
A young maiden fell from a fence.
The horse's sharp hooves struck her down.
The prince's heart broke when he heard
The girl would be crippled for life.
From her bedside, he rarely stirred.
He wanted her to be his wife.
She told him gently they should wait,
And let their love grow strong a while.
Some time went by, and by some fate
The bride and groom walked down the aisle.

They lived with loving and laughter,
And happily ever after.
