Life takes many turns...and youth is innocent... growing up is not so easy!

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!

Yes you were, and the royalty bestowed upon you is that of love. I don't think but maybe only two queens were ever loved.

All Hail the Queen!! This made me laugh as both my oldest and youngest daughter felt they should be queens. We were sure the youngest was switched at birth--couldn't be mine. Thanks for giving me a much needed laugh and nice writing too!!

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"

Why thank you Queen Linda, I am surprised they never knew from the first day, ah everyone is entitled to a mistake. LOL. I know because I was born to be a Princess however my first husband didn't know that but when I married the Prince of my dreams he knew it. Thank you for sharing smiles Linda.
