This day, the Lord has made.
crowned by the king in his highest authority
robed in the finest linen of royalty
the palace maids ran around like ants on a pan
for her dress, her comb and accessories
the mumurs of the villagers penetrated through the gates of the kingdom
words of anticipation and excitement
kings and queens came from across the waters and on their horses
to see this girl stained in royal blood
the people rejoiced and danced around the fire
they sang the happy song
clap their hands, stamp their feets and nod their heads
joyful, joyful were they
but it wasnt for long that the yearly rejoicing subsided
from how the whole city lit under the moonlight
from its hustle and bustle and songs of joyous celebration
to nothing, almost nothing
now the streets no longer glow
and the stars no longer seem to shine
the king had his kingdom affairs
and all that he had to see to
in her royalty sat her cold dinner
lying on precious felt on a beautiful glass table

the flight of stairs that took her to her room
seems longer than it used to be
climbing it took twice the effort as always
or was it twice her weight that she was carrying
she had been tired and sleepy from eyes that ran dry
that seem so hard to keep open
till she saw the only thing of which she took joy in
the 50 bottles with notes of best wishes and with love

though it was a mystery how those landed in her balcony
it may be her fairy godmother or a mighty knight on a unicorn
she was too astounded and dumfolded by the overwhelming love
captured in a bottle that seemed too small to contain
raised her hands and began to give thanks
to God of whom has showered her with blessings all her days
He had called her His

for the love in bottles that glowed in the gloom
was there anything more that she could ask for
she took out her feather quill and spilled her heart on paper
spelled gratitude and love with drowning eyes
signed off with great love and regards
your friend<3.
