The Royal Treatment (Three Word Wednesday)

She emerges from the car
Her eyes darting from side to side
Momentarily allowing a crack in character
Before returning to royal grace
Her veiled smile
Beauty personified
The gown understated elegance
A picture of confidence
Only upon closest inspection
The expected jitters manifest
A trembling hand the only indication
A thin line of sight ahead
Each step toward the fairy tale
Finally greeted by her Prince
With the words
“You Look Beautiful”

    Well it certainly took our minds off politics, and disasters and war for a little while...and she does look beautiful.

    There weren't a lot of jitters to be see but, as to be expected, they were surely there. It was really beautiful as are these words!
