Fairytales are real,
They live all around us,
Hiding in plain sight,
Influencing our lives.
***
Humpty had his horses,
Alice had the hatter,
Aslan had a forest,
And they all had each other,
***
Take the leap,
Through the looking glass,
And see what's hidden behind,
There's another story to find.
***
Hansel had Gretel,
Pinocchio had Geppetto,
Beauty had the Beast,
And they all had each other.
***
Like watching a dream,
But this is real life,
When the world feels alone,
We must not think of strife.
***
Because Fairytales are real,
And they live around us,
Snow White had seven friends,
And the wolf has the huntsman,
***
Maleficent had her crow,
The Red Queen her cards,
We've all got someone here,
In the world we make,
***
The Hatter has the Hair,
And the sun her moon,
The fox has the hound,
And Bilbo has Frodo,
***
The dark has the light,
Micky has Minnie,
Kermit has Mrs Piggy,
And you have me.
