“Follow your dreams and never let them pale
Be the star of a winter fairytale.”
* * *
Once upon a time a sweet bonnie lass
Did all her horrendous stepmother asked
Toiling all day her dream kept her going
That one day in love she would be glowing.
Her girlish charm was a breath of fresh air
Singing and dancing in spite of her cares
She so missed her mother, now laid to rest
But for her father's sake she did her best.
One day when out shopping her dream came true
Boy meets girl and love between the two grew
She felt like a Princess who'd found her Prince
And had been walking on air ever since.
‘Twas her lovely winter of wonderment
Tho’ bleak and cold this love was heaven sent
She could never speak of the joy she’d found
For her life would become a battleground.
Sadly their love never came to flourish
Their meetings being too few and hurried
Being trapped just like a bird in a cage
She wouldn't risk raising her stepmothers rage.
Endurance taken to upmost limit
Tho' his love be generous in spirit
Moon shadow's were cast o'er fated distress
Gone was the amore that once took her breath.
She had loved with womanly heart on fire
Yet coming like a bouquet of barbed wire
A mighty thunderbolt from out the blue
She'd lost the one who'd sworn his love was true.
Reliving memories of shattered dreams
In yesterday's glorious reveries
Tears came streaming, rolling like a river
No more I-love-you's whispered in her ear.
Then along came a fairy godmother
Who waved her wand o’er one then the other
The two she then joined in matrimony
The rest is a blessed lifelong love story.
