The Old Prince

How this man’s steady love, made such a great difference to the ones he loved, translated…

The tall, dark and handsome princes who rescued the princesses in the fairytales are unreal, but this old prince is, more than real.

The old prince is covered in wrinkles, very stout, with hairs all white, bald, with a huge belly too; not only does he not have a flash sports car, without the tons of money.  What’s more magical was, he has the superhero ability to fall asleep in just seconds of time, and, as he was sitting on the couch, watching the series, the very next moment, he’d started, snoring on the couch.  But his honest heart is, like a gem, very attractive; on top of that, he has enormous strengths, shouldered up the burdens of the family, and took in all the criticisms thrown at him.

When he’s out, he is an excellent manager, sorted through work very thoroughly, his crown is made of hard work, his never stopping to get educated, it’d caused all of his coworkers to commend him; at home, he’s a new age good man, took care of everything big AND small in the house, he has a medal of being responsible and caring.

In the marriage, this old prince would change his identity—Mr. Water, that smooth and clear temperament, complimented with his wife’s fierce, straight up, and easily angered personality, he’d gone with her to shop for groceries in the crowded marketplaces, and would take her hands, as they went strolling on a quiet and beautiful walking trail.  Naturally, it’s only in the imaginations, that everything is so smooth for life, the bickering would come from time to time, but, Mr. Water can always find ways, to extinguish Mrs. Fire’s flames, and so, they’d, gotten along in marriage, for over 4,000 days.

The old prince is not articulate one bit, he’d never mentioned how he felt taken advantage of, and when someone else asked him, he’d, brushed it off with a simple, “no big deal!”, looked at the nitty-gritty of things with clarity, even as the world is tilted, the society messy, it’d still not, destroy how steady he keeps himself.  From time to time, the Old Prince needed time to breathe, the online game of mahjong was his best pal, it’d allowed him to be put on a pedestal like the head gambler, free and rich.  And, if his best friend, mahjong can’t help him get out of his own gloom, then, he’d taken out the pack of cigarettes he had with him, leaned on the windows, and puffed a few puffs, changed all his stresses into the white smoke rings, with such force, he’d, exhaled it all, then, put his personalized smile back on his face, continued, venturing in life.an ordinary man, with the extraordinary qualities…illustration from the papers…

The love from the Old Prince had always been light, maybe, more easily missed, than a piece of white paper, but, was always very touching.  He’d given his forever love to his mother, his true love to his wife, his passions to his daughter, and, he’d usually, given all his love without asking for anything in return, so long as his families are well, that would be, the best sort of return for him.

If someone asks me, where this old prince is right now?  Do tell them for me, that this old prince without the money, the outstanding appearance, is currently, snoring loudly on my couch, but, there’s, just this very one of him, and, therefore, I’m so sorry, I won’t be able to, lend him out, as he is, so very, precious.

So, this, is the extraordinary love for and of an ordinary man, this man had, dedicated his life to loving his own family, and his loved one loved him too, because, that, is how love is supposed to be, reciprocated, and there’s a TON of love inside this family, all because of how steady and kind this man is towards everybody he loves.
