I Know It Was Not a Dream
I know of magic unicorns and fire breathing dragons,
They all live in a magical place that only I can see,
I enter the land and climb onto a unicorn the color of gold,
The unicorn gallops as I hold on tight to its long and flowing mane,
It stops right by a sparkling pond and slowly takes a drink,
I slowly get down off its back and pet its silky head,
A fairy appears by my ear and softly whispers a poem,
I smile softly as I listen to her sweet little voice,
The fairy then quickly disappears without saying her goodbyes,
I go back to the unicorn with a twinkle in my eye,
The moon glows bright as I get back on and we ride into the night,
Twinkling stars fill the sky and the dragons soar around,
The golden unicorn bows so that I may now get off,
As my feet touch the ground I stare into the night sky,
I turn to the unicorn and say goodbye for now I must go back,
Sounds of dragons singing come from everyway,
It seems there singing just for me and no one else can hear,
I smile up into the sky and wish that I could stay,
But alas I must go home and see my family,
I will come back another day so please do not dispair,
As I exit the land a bright light appears and I clinch my eyes,
When I finally open my eyes it seems I am in my bed,
Could it be that it was all a dream?,
I think to myself and silently hope that it was not a dream,
I look outside and there I find a bright sparkle in our tree,
I put on clothes and go outside to see what the thing is,
I climb the tree and look around for the sparkle that I had seen,
When I finally find the sparkle there I take it in my hands,
'Tis part of a unicorns golden mane and it is shining in the sun,
I now know that it was not just a pleasent a dream,
I climb back down and go back into the house,
I go into my room and shut the door for this is a secret,
I put the golden mane into a box and put it on my desk,
I sit back down on my bed and look around my room,
I'll be happy from now on for I know it was not a dream.
