The shoe fits*

The shoe fits*

A woman has come with step sisters so mean
The more she helped the worse it seemed

She did the sewing, cooking and cleaning the floor

But her step sisters never appreciated this and always ignored

Poor woman, she was a beauty and did not know what to do

As she kept moving on, the punishment she went through

Then one evening a fairy godmother came

She did not want this beautiful woman to stay the same

So she took her magic wand and gave it a twirl

She transformed this woman from a girl

She gave her something to make her life happy

A few material things to be so carefree

A prince had a ball that he needed a date

So he sent a message out to all single women to be his mate

Of course the poor old girl seemed left behind

Her step sisters got the message but did not mind

So off these step sisters went to the ball

A fine carriage came to answer the call

But as fate has it this woman was of no despair

A rush to the house became well aware

A horse drawn carriage with an entourage

Her eyes could not believe, is this a mirage?

As she dazzled herself up and took to the street

Soon a young lover will be there for her to meet

Arriving at the ball, she met her prince to be

He gazed upon her beauty, how joyfully

He took her by the hand and they had a dance

His heart was palpitating faster, true romance

But she seen that clock struck twelve and had to go

The prince was shocked, what did he know?

She scurried off quickly and left with a shoe

What was he thinking, what is he to do?

He seen the shoe and said this fits that one

He went through the village looking for her until it was done

He came upon a woman filled with soot

But he seen something about her and the shoe fit the foot

That Now Love has found its way and both agree

That the lost shoe found its home, both are happy

So as in fairy tales before the story ends

Happiness seems to overpower despair as it always wins

The prince is so lucky and a great fella

That he met his true lover and her name is Cinderella
