Modern Fairytale: Prince Charming

Once upon a time, in a land only in our minds
There was a prince who was faithful, generous and kind
He had a six foot plus frame and skin kissed by the sun
And though desired by many, he only loved one.
He cherished every moment he had to be with her
Proclaimed his love to everyone, even facebook and twitter!
He bought her flowers on days when he thought she needed a lift
Thoughtful in his gestures, generous with his gifts
His words were bonds and his actions were great
His politeness was evident, even after their first date.
He did not confuse a queen with a peasant or a hoe
And though he only chased money, he put her above his dough
He never smothered her, nor did he leave her floundering with space
He cooked her meals with his own pots, on his own stove in his own place
When she went out her way to return each and every favor
He was grateful for her attention so in her favor, he did savor.
Although a greater lover she would never find in this land,
He was first her best friend, and always her man
When the time came for their opinions to differ from each other
He never called her out her name or forgot that he loved her
He never lied or manipulated; his intentions were true
So she never doubted him when he whispered to her "I love you"
He was impressed with her mind and enamored with her style
He paid attention to the things that would always make her smile
When the time came for them to marry and create children of their own
He was sure to make sure their house STAYED a home
He taught strength through courage and was morally sound
Kept to each of his promises, and his queen always held him down
He loved hip hop and music, but never let a lyric dictate his life
He never used words like "bitch" when describing his wife
