The Unicorn and the Puppy Fable

I walked alone, no other unicorn lived In this forest that's called life Nosing my way amongst the flowers Taking in all it offered without strife One day I come across a lost puppy I looked down on him saying What's your name, how did u get lost He looked up at me crying They didn't want me they drove here and pushed me out Shut the car door and drove off I did give a shout. Why do you look strange the puppy asked Why have you just one horn Though beautiful it is It looks like you were shorn I am a unicorn puppy dear I said with some surprise Some say I am handsome But I can't believe the lies They walked together through the glen Chatting away like friends of old Night time came they would gather moss Roll up together warming their nose and toes A family came to visit the glen Mum and dad and children two The unicorn stepped forward This puppy needs a home with you. The children loved the puppy Can we take him home The unicorn nodded wisely Soon he will be all alone My time here is over I was here to look after you I said to the puppy, my job is finished Now you have a home anew The moral of my fable is: Just like the Unicorn Everyone is here for a purpose, given time it will be revealed.
