Once there was a princess who lived in the sea;
a mermaid who was as beautiful as could be.
Sirenetta was the youngest daughter of the king;
and the kingdom just loved to hear her sing.
As she was swimming and playing in the deep;
the sea gave a mighty, mighty sweep.
A storm had brewed and a ship was going down,
and she saw a man that was about to drown.
She swam toward him and brought him ashore;
she had never touched a human before.
When she wanted him to open his eyes;
Sirenetta heard other people's cries.
So she swam back for the kingdom in the sea,
to fall in love with a human was not to be.
She saved a prince and she did not know,
and she wanted to be with him so.
She decided she wanted to live on land,
and she needed the Sea Witch's helping hand.
Now this Sea Witch was cruel and vain,
and gave a spell that would cause her pain.
The Sea Witch made her human whole,
but her legs would hurt her with every stroll.
Sirenetta also lost her beautiful voice,
but to be with the prince was her choice.
With the magic of the witch, she was found;
the prince saw her lying on the ground.
He asked her for her name but she couldn't speak,
still she looked lovely and very meek.
The prince took her in and became his friend,
Sirenetta thought it was going to be a happy end.
Now the prince's family threw a party so grand,
never before seen in the land.
He had fallen in love with a lady quite fair,
forgetting that Sirenetta was there.
They were to be married very soon,
as soon as there was a full moon.
But with the magic came a curse,
Sirenetta's fate had become worse.
If she did not get the prince's heart,
from this world she would then part.
She would be turned into foam,
never to return to her undersea home.
Sirenetta cried out to the dark sea,
wishing to be loved or that she could flee.
Then her sisters swam up with a magical knife,
to save herself, she must take the prince's life.
"Kill him tonight," her sisters said,
"because we do not want you dead."
Sirenetta could be a mermaid once more,
and live untroubled just like before.
So on that night she went to his room,
carrying a knife that meant his doom.
But she could not kill him, not at all-
she'd rather take the curse and fall.
So Sirenetta was ready to die for love,
but then she floated to the skies above!
What was happening? She wondered so.
The fairies surrounding her would know.
"What you did was a selfless and true,
The curse was lifted because of you."
She said farewell to her family,
from sea to sky, she was now free.
Those she loved she could watch up high,
as she was now a princess in the sky!
AND THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS:
There are times when you are called to be brave and there are times when you will need help and that help won't come from Mom or Dad or the people you know. You don't have to worry about all strangers. Some will be good and some will be bad. Strangers will come in all forms of people. Don't forget that when you're being brave, you also have to decide if the person trying to help you is someone truly nice and trust worthy.
