Tales of Childhood

I love to hear the Fables
And Legends of long ago,
Of Dragons and Damsels in distress,
And Knights that were so bold.

Of a Princess caught in a wicked spell,
‘til by a Prince released.
Or of a funny old Dwarf King,
Whose hunger was hard to appease.

Of a King turned into a polar bear,
Of Maids who sang to the moon.
And even horrid old Witches,
Who rode around on brooms.

Of a Cat that talked,
And wore great boots.
Or of Elves who came,
At night to make shoes.

These are the stories of childhood,
That I still hold so dear.
I wish to share them with my child,
As I hold her, oh, so near.
