Have you ever seen a unicorn?
I can see one every day
And fairies, giants and dragons
are always getting in the way
There are worlds that can't exist
that I like to visit when I can
And farms with talking pigs
screaming to escape their pen
At the end of a leprechaun's rainbow
a little girl finds golden riches
Heroes with gleaming magic swords
go to battle with evil witches
I can find most anything
even a pauper who would be king
From a ring to rule them all
to a dragon who loves to sing
With the right words chosen
and written in just the right way
There is nothing that can't be real
or a place you can not play
Romance, mystery, and magic
flowing through every word
pumping your heart with adventure
so that spot in your brain is stirred
The precious words of an author
are the heart of imagination
Nutrition for the soul
food for the minds digestion
