To Twiley, the best sister of them all:
I’m so proud of what you’ve become
And how you rose when most would fall
To their knees and be struck dumb.

New magic comes from you every day,
Making Equestria a better, sweeter paradise.
Everypony living has only one takeaway:
The Magic of Friendship Electrifies!

You will be our best monarch,
As long as you remember your friends
And practice the friendship you preach.

Don’t fret if surrounded by the dark;
You’ve got more than enough sense
To find the light and break the siege.

To Cadence, my darling wife:
How many ways can a stallion say
I love you? You’ve spent your life
Teaching me and others, every day.

I see only happiness upon the faces
Of your subjects and our daughter.
And nopony can even find traces
Of unpleasantry in your aura.

Thank you for saving me from
Queen Chrysalis and her hateful horde
And saving Equestria with your love.

I feel giddy, like I want to strum
A guitar and put a smorgasbord
Of kisses upon you, sweet dove!

To my beautiful Flurry Heart:
Please never falter in your giddiness.
Stay safe and stay smart,
And keep just a touch of silliness.

When the day comes, love the Empire
Like your own child. The slightest hate
Builds upon itself and will not expire
Until contravening love helps it abate.

Your aunt and mother are good teachers;
Learn from them and become the mare
We all know you shall soon be.

And no foul villains or fiendish creatures
Will ever make as much as a glare
At the Princess of Compassion and Glee.

Author's Note

I initially started writing this one as a group of sonnets, but I was halfway through when I realized I'd screwed up the format sonnets are usually in (ABBA ABBA CDE CDE) and done ABAB ABAB instead. I decided to run with the Frankensteined format I'd created, just to see where it led me, and I'm glad I did! This is the happiest poem of the quartet, and I think it gives a nice sense of hope to close the collection out.
