Fairy Tales
by: Barb Heller


I once believed in Fairy Tales
and a happy ever after,
the magic of the unicorn,
the innocence of laughter.

But the Fairy Princess doesn't dance
no Prince to take her hand,
No Knight in shining armor,
and the castle's only sand.

I once believed in Fairy Tales
and that wishes would be granted,
that clouds had silver linings,
and the forests were enchanted.

But the rainbow doesn't have an end
there is no pot of gold,
the four leaf clover's wilted,
and the leprechaun's grown old.

I once believed in Fairy Tales
and that lovers never part,
that I'd found that special someone,
that I could give my heart.
