The Wishing Well

Deep beneath the wishing well,

Lies a world where fairies dwell.

Fairy fish glide idly by,

‘Voiding hooks cast in their sky.

Fairy dragons lie in wait,

Tempting all “Defy your fate!

Wish a wish! Yes, set us free!

What a gift your life shall be. ” 

They chain the helpless victims by

Dancing gold beneath their eyes,

Until yon hero comes and claims

The hapless victims from their pains.

The fairy crown waits for his head.

The queen, she waits upon his bed.

But loves true light will set him free

To live his life courageously. 

He’ll turn his back on power and greed.

Trusting love is all he’ll need,

He’ll wish for only that which is,

A life with love that will be his.
