Fairy Tales
They grew up listening to fairy tales
their parents would read in bed...
Tales of kings and queens and castles
were the stories they were read.
And they wanted to be that king..that queen...
To take a husband or a wife...
To rule with compassion from their castle...
To live a happy life.
They grew up, as we all do,
and left those bedtime stories behind.
But the fairy tales they remember...
were always in their minds.
They met...they fell in love...
He said, “You treat me like a king.
and I will treat you like a queen...
if you wear my wedding ring.”
Their castle was a tiny house
filled with joy and love and laughter...
and the ending...as expected...
they lived happily ever after.
They say if you’re lucky life comes full circle
Or perhaps it was something they read...
For now at bedtime they sit with their children...
and read fairy tales in their bed.
