Sonnet for a Princess

In the faint light of that which is so dark,
A flower unfurls its blonde petals.
A rose light emitted, calling out, "Hark!"
The cry finds those so lost beneath the nettles.

Lighting the path, making it easier to see,
you are a stepping stone that many need.
A princess with no castle, you are me
and we are bound by the internal creed.

The promise to keep an honest flame going.
Through the darkest days and brightest nights,
the protective moat should never stop flowing,
drawbridge always lifting those to new heights.

Kind, sweet, honest, and brave, we try our best
to keep the rose light flickering with zest.
