Hid in an oak chest <br />.............................beside her table <br />Were papers she found <br />........................concerning her birth. <br />She had been snatched <br />.........................from a royal cradle. <br />Much foreign treasure <br />................ was what she was worth. <br /> <br />Secreted as hostage <br />................................until time came <br />To agitate, with bribes <br />...............................or threats of war, <br />Her rightful Father, <br />......................... this imposter again <br />Planned evil, which henceforth <br />........................would work no more. <br /> <br />With cape and bonnet <br />.................. she dressed with intent <br />To use this for freedom, <br />....................... but would he relent? <br /> <br />(To Be Continued)<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/elizabeth-s-freedom/
