The Little Prince Within Us Rose Marie Raccioppi The Little Prince so recently I have met He tells of travel, folly and regret With question and wonder he is sure to ask What draws us to each and every task Of what import is what we think and do If it does not hold what is good and true With love he does tame and so he does see One blossom of beauty among all that be Wherever he travels he questions anew Why we do whatever we do He holds a blossom, a sunset, a star Venturing to lands near and far And what he tells us in his favored way Each sunset brings to this very day And so The Little Prince sets out to depart To his homeland from where he did start The Little Prince within us shall remain A blossom, a star, now to tame.
