Fairy Tales Can Come True

They can happen to you.… (well, sometimes…)                                                   (Paraphrase Carolyn Leigh / Johnny Richards)

My mother told me…I was ugly…But I would probably be pretty???? When I grew up…I believed her.

 

 

 

My father told me…About Peter Rabbit…And his family…back in the woods…I believed him.

 

 

 

My teacher told me…I had a way…With words…that could take me far…I believed her.

 

 

 

 

You told me…You’d never leave me…I was your Sun…Your Moon and your Stars…I believed you.

Then you told me…The bleak reality…Of your doctor’s diagnosis…I like fairytales…I won’t believe you!
