FAIRY TALE LIVES

For me…when times are rough…I think back to Fairy Tales….
How evil wins its share of battles…but in the end…how good prevails.

Whenever I fight evil…sometimes I lose…sometimes I win…
and oftentimes I’m in need of mending….
but I truly believe for every Once Upon a Time 
there should be a happy ending.

I also know life in not always a Fairy Tale…
filled with joy and love…and laughter…
I know there is pain and suffering and heartache in our world
and that everyone does not life Happily Ever After.

But…having been influenced by Fairy Tales all my life…
my mission is a simple one:
To enter into the fairy tale of everyone I meet…
so when their story’s done…

I may not have been able to come to their rescue 
riding a white horse…like a knight…
but their lives will end a little happier…
because of the pages I helped write.
