This is the real grave of Cinderella. She can be visited at Rose Bill Historic Cemetary in Macon, Georgia... high above the Ocmulgee River.
Cinderella was a dream a long long time go
She really did exist for me in children's fairytale folklore
I think the child in me was she... like every other girl
Who looked for her Prince Charming in silks with onyx curls
In growing.. childhood dreams resided in a chest of dreams
Where stress was locked out of the code of wonderful old things
I walked today upon the hill above the Ocmulgee
Rounded the lane and stood face to face with my chldhood dream
An angel stood before my eyes in stoic granite stone
I couldn't move ....was mesmerized ...at what I'd come upon
With aromatic breeze just then in petuclli laced vanilla
Standing in awe I read the stone...here lies Cinderella
I shook my fears loose just then and read the epitaph
Cinderella lived and died..was loved and that's a fact
Here in middle Georgia right at the river side
The Princess of all my years loved before she died
She found her Prince Charming...this brought me to my knees
This fairytale had lived in life...she chose to BELIEVE !!!!!
Thanks to the natives our rivers have great names. Come let's hoochie choochie, beside the Chattahoochee before the moon strikes midnight and your father comes to shoot me...
Sometimes we need to be reminded in the most gentle of ways, but faith can indeed move mountains...

When we BELIEVE in the dreams in our hearts; we never let them go. No matter what rises against them: doubt, fear, or failure - we hold them close to our hearts protecting them with the power of our soul.
As AA Gabriel stated: "To those who BELIEVE; there is NOTHING impossible with G-d."

Already, a poet, a good one, and now you're a detecctive, too. I've heard about that monument, but have never heard until now, what a beautiful story a creative mind could weave about it. Your poem shuld be published in the Macon Telegraph (still that name?), and from there, in a national magazine. It's that good!

Whoa!!! Martin!!! Guys don't blubber. Whass-da-matter-wid-ya? Still, goosebumps are okay . . . Uh, if you don't have very many. "She chose to believe." Yes.
This is the story of the author’s great great grandparents, Edward Lewis and Sarah Crosby, who were convicts transported to Van Diemen’s Land in the 1840s. It is told from the perspective of a detective agency searching for what happened to Edward, w
