Leprechauns, Fairies & All That I Need

Way back in the woods all nestled away I found the place where Leprechauns play To find the place I had to first find the door Keeping it hidden is what the Waterfall is for Behind the falls there lies a mystical cave To scale the cliff one must be very brave As you enter the cave these words are true The most magical of places is waiting for you The cave is not dark in fact it’s rather bright For thousands of crystals are beaming with light As you pass through the cave it is so clear to see There are places on earth where men shouldn’t be As I stepped out of the cave on the other side My own amazement I could never hide There were waterfalls, Rainbows & Butterflies galore I felt as though I had stepped through Heavens door As I took to the path it suddenly occurred to me This path is made out of gold, as gold as could be I looked at a tree stump and got lost in the spell For the sign in front said, “The Leprechaun Hotel” A hundred tiny windows were all beaming with light For the sun had just dropped, dropped clean out of sight A whole world had lit up right before me Mushrooms were homes for Fairies you see Sometimes in life we embrace the magic of a spell Mystical creatures in heaven, far as my eyes could tell The fairies were tiny angels that lit up the night I’ve never seen anything so beautiful and bright Then all at once a feeling took over my soul And I truly felt that it was time I should go As I turned to leave I heard a Leprechaun say From all of this gold you’ll just walk away The fairy said, “One wish is granted to you” “Make any wish you like and it will come true” I explained how wealth was once all that I sought And my dreams and wishes were already bought You see God sent an Angel who planted a seed That sprouted our love, which is all that I need Inspired by a wall painting at my Dentist office and written for my wife.
