Daddy Princess

I don't remember what life was like
Before I became a princess
But I do remember the day it happened

Princess-hood wasn't handed down
to me through the generations
I don't come from blue blood, ceremony and tradition

I did not marry in to royalty
My wedding was not a carefully orchestrated coup
With a kingdom in a distant land

It was magic
Magic possessed by a three year old
Bequeathing rule to me with an urgent incantation

Help me
Daddy Princess
Help me get the broom from the hook

I accepted the honor gratefully
And I will endeavor to rule all with
Kindness and grace and gratitude
The way only a Daddy Princess can

Oh wait
Now I am a tiger
