A Pinocchio Dream " Inspired By Rain "... & Special Thanks To John Robbins :)

It's not the usual bed time stories book that u expect to see 
Beside it all the other tales books on the shelf are well done 
The book that make you smile along the pages 
Or remind you how childhood had been so much fun 
It may seem a usual fairy tale book 
So just turn its pages & let's have a look 
The first tale is for Pinocchio 
The old fairy tale that we used to hear 
About a wooden puppet who dreamed of being real  
The blue fairy said she could help him if he proved he worth it 
Then she could turn him to a real boy no longer a puppet 
He only needs to prove he could be brave, truthful & unselfish 
 Able to tell right from wrong by listening to his conscience 
But it seems he couldn't understand any of it 
& started to act totally the opposite 
But then after a long adventure being such a bad toy 
He ended up with donkey ears & tears of a little boy 
& all what he got was a poor wooden broken heart 
Didn’t know how to end this or why did he make all this start 
U could stop at this point, I think you know how the story end 
Just try to listen what message it's been trying to send  
It's not about being a person or something made of wood 
It's about worth being real or not 
U may be breathing but are you real 
Or you are turning to be wooden & u can't even feel 
 With a little help of the blue fairy, bravery & truth
Without being yet real without searching for an excuse 
The puppet strings no more belong to Pinocchio 
So if you don’t worth being a real person then those strings belong to you
