In a kingdom far away lived a beautiful child;
Ella- she was called, and her manner was mild.
Years ago, her father had lost his wife;
he felt Ella needed a mother in her life.
He married a woman with two daughters of her own;
but he died and the stepmother’s true colors were shown.
The stepmother was selfish, vain and unkind;
she only had her equally selfish daughters in mind.
Now called Cinderella, she became the maid;
To have happiness again, she hoped and she prayed.
One day, a messenger held a letter from the king,
there was to be a ball where all ladies could dance and sing.
It was for his son, the prince of the land;
who needed a lady with a suitable hand.
The stepsisters were excited to meet the prince;
they wore dresses that could make one wince!
They demanded that Cinderella do this and that;
mending their dresses and feeding their cat.
Oh how Cinderella wished she could go,
where to get a dress- she didn’t know!
“We’re leaving you to clean up the mess,
You’ll never find a pretty dress.”
Cinderella cried as they left her alone;
she couldn’t go to the ball, she had nothing of her own.
Suddenly a light flashed before her eyes;
Her fairy godmother had heard her cries!
“Don’t cry Cinderella, for I will help you,
we’ll see this wonderful ball push through.
We’ll give you something to wear,
no one will ever be as fair!”
A beautiful dress, as beautiful as she was;
and delicate glass slippers that made her pause.
She now had a carriage, a footman and horses;
All thanks to her fairy godmother’s magical forces!
“You must leave before the clock strikes midnight;
leave like you and your carriage are in flight.
This magic I gave you won’t last forever;
it’s up to you, I know you’re clever.”
Once Cinderella arrived at the ball,
everyone thought she was the fairest of all.
The prince immediately approached her to dance;
it was a wonderful start for their romance.
The stepsisters were jealous; who was she?
This lady was lucky as could be.
Suddenly the clock began to chime;
Cinderella had run out of time!
The prince called out for her: “Please, wait!”
but Cinderella left him; it was too late.
All she left was a glass slipper, the only clue;
the prince would use the slipper; it would do.
He and his soldiers knocked on every door;
it seemed there was hope no more.
The prince came to one more place;
He was ready to give up on this chase.
Two sisters fought over the shoe made of glass;
his last chance had come to pass.
But another lady called out to him;
just when he thought his chances were grim.
Cinderella showed him the glass slipper she kept;
her stepsisters realized it was she and wept.
Her stepmother and stepsisters she left alone;
and they could do nothing on their own.
Cinderella’s days were once more filled with laughter,
And with her prince she lived happily ever after!
