Fairy Tales

a poem, a story, an appreciation, for Amanda

It isn’t much A story, a tale, a yarn

Passed down Woven around

In kitchens and fields Adults passing time

Eventually shaped into Children’s nursery rhymes

Darkness a bit tamed Dragons slightly modified

Princesses a tad purified As innocent protectors of Good

When I said It isn’t much

I lied Stories are everything

Stories are all we are Fairy Tales are stories

That show us ways to grow How to fight and when to run

Who to listen to Who not to trust

Fairy Tales Are our universal

Navigational tools Through the woods
