A Princess's Song

Once upon a time there was a blonde little princess who was six years old and not afraid of anything! (Okay, except maybe spiders...they will occasionally elicit a shriek or two!) The princess was asked to sing a song in the Thatcher 7th Ward Primary Program. Her mom was nervous...and asked if there was another prince or princess that would sing with her. Nope, she was to perform all alone--a solo. The princess wasn't afraid or even nervous, she was excited in fact! The song was her favorite of all favorites and she already knew the words by heart--I Love To See The Temple.

The days passed quickly and the princess practiced her solo with her Nana the Queen and any time she was in her royal coach. She learned to sing softly, then loudly, then on tune. Finally, the big day arrived. Again, her mom was nervous, but not the princess--only a look of excitement filled her eyes. First, she sang all the songs loudly and proudly with all the other kids in the kingdom. Next, she stood and said her part without flaw. Then, it was her turn to sing alone and she waltzed to the pulpit and opened her mouth. Out came the beautiful words of the song and then a precious smile crossed her lips as she realized she was finished. She had done it! Sang all alone and beautifully! Her family sitting in the back watching her had never been so proud! Their smiles radiated the love they felt for the princess's song and for the princess. It was truly a fairytale to remember!

The Princess even loves her naughty little prince of a brother!
