These are the rules and they are the rules all day
and all of them are made up by me
and I say we we don't need a queen ya see
The little girl started to cry
and then to scream
Don't you know this isn't real
It's all make believe
Then the little boy got down from his chair
Walk toward the back door
and sat down on the stairs..
you can be what you want to be
you can even be the queen
if you want to be abbey..
With a big heart felt smile
she said with a grin
now that I'm queen
here where the real fun begins
Hey king here's my land half
and here's yours
mine stretches from the fence to this back door
and yours from the side of the house
to that extension cord
Then ..... Jesse...... time to eat
He looked at the knight
And then the queen..
He said I can't play any more
I have to leave
One by one the kids shuffled home
It left just the knight and Queen
to roam the back yard kingdom
all alone
then both sat down and started to play..
They didn't need a king or any one else that day.
They played for hours and hours..
Sometimes in the grass and sometimes in the flowers
At the end of the night the little boy grabed a single rose and said
This is for my new love it's made from the finest shades of red
Take this as a promise from me
that one day you
and I will be married
she took it from his hand
smiled and then sat down
She made a cardboard cut out
for him to have a crown
I still remember that faithful day..
What seemed like harmless child's play.
but it Gave me 4 kids and Chevrolet
Guitar lessons a dog and ballet
A busy bathroom
and the mirror covered
in hair spray
And it all started
when I got to be king
for just a day

I chuckled at the end of that. Very adorable and heart warming. It's funny how God works things out. I thought you might like to know, I found a typo. You missed putting the second 'b' in grabbed in this line.
At the end of the night the little boy grabed a single rose and said
God Bless you.

This whole story had be grinning from ear to ear, I recall from my own childhood playing such silly games. Not that they've ended the same, but still. I loved this piece, so very heart felt and innocent, well done with it!
