Fairy Tales
By Linda A. Copp 

Fairy Tales are treasured dreams,
flights of fantasy,
Imagined and born long ago,
a childhood luxury.

Chargers, shields and armor,
castles, kings of old.

Fairies,
snow queens,
 dragons,
 haunts and heroes brave and bold.

Elves and woodland animals,
chivalry, jesters speak
 of mysteries, adventures,
stairs that often creak.

Justice reigns triumphant,
goodness winning out.
Defying evil and all wrong
Courageous right wins out.

And Oh! How lovely to believe
the dream will someday come,
As it did in childhood days
now, and yet, to come.
