Royal Baby

Dear Royal Baby
God and Goddess
     bless

What a life you will be
     born into
I truly
     wish you the
          best

The Pressures
     will be enormous
But your parents
     are good folks

People think it would be fun
     to be born
a royal princess
     or prince

-But it's a lot
     to give up
-never to walk
     on the beach
-on a whim

never to kiss ... him
     in the parking lot
of the grocery store
     with homeless people
watching

and what a kiss!

the fleeting pleasures
     of the
common folk
     you will
never know

-but you'll have
     other stuff
that you can do

stuff the rest of us
never could

everybody's different
everybody has their stuff

but just remember for me
     will you
that God/Goddess
     lives within

-has a home
     in the heart
of each one of us
     -Royalty
or common folk

The true and eternal Royalty
is this
the light, the bliss, the love
eternal

Really is-
within
