I WAS BORN TO BE A QUEEN
By: Linda Law
As the oldest of seven, I heard this same refrain
"You are not royalty..
We know from where you came"
What did they know! I knew there was a mistake
Silver spoon and silver platter...
that's what matters
I was born to be a Queen..
hand me this...hand me that
Crown of jewels upon my head,
satin sheets on my bed
On the surface I was shy,
Inside I know I am a Queen.. my oh my...
Why can't they see I don't belong....
what went wrong?
England is across the sea,
and Texas is where I be
Cows and horses, barns and fields....
Barefeet and cutoffs, woe is me
Dreaming kept me hoping, dreaming
one day they'll find this Queen
After sixteen, I knew I'd have to find a way, pray?
There was Princess Anne riding her fancy horses
while I rode my own mare, and drove a Studebaker
I figured Anne belonged here, and I should be there
Woe is me.....Why can't they see?
Someone switched me... what else could it be...
At nineteen I married a slightly old Prince
He built me a castle, showered me with gems
Didn't make it to England; had my own kingdom
What do I do with all these children? Diapers!
Oh no...nannies and housekeepers that was the way
Queens just adore and go about their filled day
Figured I had to fix this in my very own style
Stayed at home and rattled around for awhile
Second marriage was not so rich, except in love
and everyother way... I was born to be a Queen
At last I knew why I was here...
Honored and cherished ... the love of his life
The Queen of his heart, and the mother of more
God had planned this from the start...
I WAS BORN TO BE A QUEEN!

Linda, YOU ROCK!!
I was not born to be a King but after reading about you being a Queen,,
I got lost in the words and became a King.
Luv Ya....

Very nice! My eldest sister (we were seven too) was like that, she always had us as her "assistants" and we were here "go-fers" (go for this -go for that) it seems elder children are that way. "Born to be Queen"
