Riding Your Unicorn

By day my unicorn slept beneath my bed At least that's what my dear old grannie said She came to me when the stars appeared And sometimes stayed 'till daylight neared Off we'd go on adventures big and small I on her back , having no fear at all Down the rivers and through the wood It was a dream I knew, I understood She was a beauty, eyes so clear and blue He mane was silken, her heart was too She was my friend and I loved her so Then I grew up, it was time for her to go I will always believe in unicorns you know They come with children's dreams in tow
Happy Birthday to PD.. may you ride your unicorn forever...
