Fairytale Endings

Every little girl dreams
of a fairytale ending
of a prince charming
at the end of the rainbow
of riding off into the distance
on the back of a white horse
with a smile on her face
and a crown on her head

every little girl dreams
of a large, beautiful wedding
of pink and purple surroundings
of a prince who loves her
of a castle to live in
of a full jewelry box

every teenage girl dreams
of a boy that won't break her heart
of a boy who will love her forever
of a boy who will get down on one knee
and pull out a small box
and put a ring on her finger
and whisper "I love you"
and know its forever

every teenage girl dreams
of a boy to smile at her
to write her heartfelt notes
to give her chocolate
to go to the zoo with her
to hold her hand
to hug her when she's sad
and hug her when she's happy
to watch a movie with her
to talk to her late into the night
and dry any tears she may shed


every middle age woman dreams
of a husband who still loves her
who sees through her flaws
who thinks she's beautiful
regardless of any wrinkles
and any weight she may have gained

every middle age woman dreams
of children to love
of a great future for her kids
of a happy family that spends time together
of a strong spiritual base
of a passionate marriage
and a love-filled family

every elderly woman dreams
of her children's success
of the day she'll sit back
and smile
because she raised her children well

every elderly woman dreams
of grandchildren to spoil
of the day that her greatest lover
will come back for her
and she'll leave this earth
and run into His open arms

every elderly woman dreams
about the day
when she will be able to worship
the Lord forever and ever.

But for now?
I'm just a teenage girl
with dreams of her own
and that place in my heart for a boy?
Is filled, for now, with the One
the One that will comfort me when I'm sad
and laugh with me when I'm happy
who has been through the temptations of this world
and come out the victor

because the man in my heart?
His name is Jesus.
And He is indescribable.
He is the greatest lover.
The amazing creator.
He loves me so much, that He died for me.

And with that love?
I am content.
For now, I am content
to wait for my happy ending
and the man that will sweep me off my feet
and carry me into the sunset.
