A Long Ago Fairy Tale

Long ago and far away There stands in the harshest of lands A man without plenty He dreams of a place to call his own He wanders from home to home Fighting his fights and plundering his goods Lives like animal deep in the woods He follows a group with out rhyme or reason Roaming through life and all of the seasons There to his wonder he found but a dream There lays a woman crying in need She was tattered and frightened and very alone And here, from her horse she was thrown Her eyes were like a vision that he’d never known Her hair was long and golden brown And upon her head she wore a small crown So he helped her with her darkest fears And kindly wiped away her tears She had never met such a man With ripped clothes and dirty hands The man she ran from was cold mean Causing her to run from that scene This man had a smile that was trusting and compassionate and true And in the smallest of hours her love for him grew But he feared he had nothing to give her No fancy clothes, home and nothing to eat So with his defeat He raised to his feet, and walked away And minutes later she run after him to convey And say, “I love you”, please stay Together we can be happy and gay I don’t care about jewels or money I know if I stay with you everyday will be sunny So off they rode into the woods with just the clothes on their back And she felt so content with a man named Mac ( This is a fairy tale with a message!)
