Love Poem: Modern-Day Cinderella

Modern-Day Cinderella

An image catches her eye, casually she scrolls
A woman, in an antique lace gown and corset
Captured in pensive thought, and perusing, with carefully gloved hands
She exudes elegance. A quiet, calmness and an element of romance
Oh, if only she were a modern-day Cinderella
Feeling beautiful and chosen
Dressed to the nines in a stunning blue gown and shoes
Grateful and blessed, she would be secure in her own skin, and unafraid of her imperfections. Accepted and loved for who she was, just as she was
Sharing a simple and happy life with her modern-day Prince Charming
There would be no worries about having to rush off before midnight, or that the stagecoach might turn into a pumpkin  or that the gown would turn into a smock and apron
Honesty and vulnerability would be staples in their relationship. As well as mutual trust, respect, forgiveness and understanding 
A true commitment. And a lasting, soul-binding love 
That feels like a fairytale
