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
