In a city so bright, with skyscrapers so tall, Lived a young girl named Lily, with a heart after all. She dreamed of adventure, of magic and might, And a prince to sweep her off her feet, in the morning light.

She lived with her mother, in a cozy little nest, A small apartment, with a view of the city's best. Her mother worked hard, to give her a life so fine, But Lily felt trapped, with a heart that was divine.

One day, as she wandered, through the city's busy streets, She stumbled upon a small shop, with a sign that read "Magical Treats". The windows were filled, with sweets and with toys, And a sign above the door, that read "Come and enjoy".

Lily pushed open the door, and a bell rang out clear, And a kind old man greeted her, with a smile so sincere. "Welcome, young one," he said, "I've been waiting for you, I have just the thing, to make your dreams come true."

He led her to a room, filled with wondrous sights, A room of enchantment, where magic took flight. There were sparkles and glitter, and colors so bright, And a beautiful horse, with a coat of pure white.

"This is my gift to you," said the old man with a grin, "A magical steed, to take you on a journey to win. You'll ride through the city, with the wind in your hair, And find the prince of your dreams, with a love beyond compare."

Lily's heart was racing, with excitement so true, She thanked the old man, and climbed onto the horse anew. She rode through the city, with the sun on her face, And the wind in her hair, as she took her rightful place.

She passed by the parks, and the gardens so green, And the people all stared, as she rode by so serene. She felt like a princess, with a heart full of cheer, And the horse beneath her, seemed to know exactly where to steer.

As she rode, she noticed, a handsome young man, With a smile so charming, and a heart so grand. He was standing on the sidewalk, with a bouquet in his hand, And Lily felt a spark, that she couldn't understand.

The horse stopped in front of him, with a gentle little neigh, And Lily looked into his eyes, and felt her heart sway. "Who are you?" she asked, with a voice so so sweet, And the young man replied, "I'm the prince you've been seeking to meet."

He told her his name, was Prince Henry so fine, And he'd been searching for her, with a heart so divine. He'd heard of her kindness, and her heart so so bright, And he knew in that moment, she was his guiding light.

Lily's heart was racing, with excitement so true, She felt like she'd found, her prince and her dream come through. They talked for hours, as the sun set in the west, And Lily knew in that moment, she'd found her perfect nest.

The old man appeared, with a smile so so wide, And said "I'm glad you've found, your prince by your side. Remember, magic is real, and love is the key, To a life of happiness, and a heart full of glee."

And so Lily and Henry, lived happily ever after, With a love that was strong, and a heart that was laughter. They rode through the city, on the magical horse so white, And their love shone so bright, like a beacon in the night.

And if you ever find yourself, in that city so grand, Take a stroll down the street, where Magical Treats stand. You might just find a horse, with a coat of pure white, And a prince waiting for you, with a love that's just right.
