And sheep with fuzzy golden-fleece shorn
In Easter eggs and reindeer’s flight
Round world trips of a single night
Pixie dust and secret smiles
Pegasus and Rumpelstiltskin’s wiles
Soap bubbles glistening that float above
Longing desires that grow into love
Knights’ bold charges to side Lady fair
Magic potions that we all can share
Gods of Greece and Gods of Rome
Heroes challenging wastelands for home
Santa’s gifts, Black Peter’s wrath
Yellow brick road and bejeweled path
Ruby slippers and Puss in Boot
Pirate treasures, buried loot
Elves and fairies, Chants and spells
Fairy wands and wishing wells
All these things lay inside my heart
Lighting the darkness, the very best part
Of the life I’ve lived, the fights I’ve had
These things I believe wipe memory sad
So each morning’s thought, each nightime’s prayer
Is that when I look around, a Unicorn will be there
