A Long Ago Fairy Tale
Long ago and far away
There stands in the harshest of lands
A man without plenty
He dreams of a place to call his own
He wanders from home to home
Fighting his fights and plundering his goods
Lives like animal deep in the woods
He follows a group with out rhyme or reason
Roaming through life and all of the seasons
There to his wonder he found but a dream
There lays a woman crying in need
She was tattered and frightened and very alone
And here, from her horse she was thrown
Her eyes were like a vision that he’d never known
Her hair was long and golden brown
And upon her head she wore a small crown
So he helped her with her darkest fears
And kindly wiped away her tears
She had never met such a man
With ripped clothes and dirty hands
The man she ran from was cold mean
Causing her to run from that scene
This man had a smile that was trusting and compassionate and true
And in the smallest of hours her love for him grew
But he feared he had nothing to give her
No fancy clothes, home and nothing to eat
So with his defeat
He raised to his feet, and walked away
And minutes later she run after him to convey
And say, “I love you”, please stay
Together we can be happy and gay
I don’t care about jewels or money
I know if I stay with you everyday will be sunny
So off they rode into the woods with just the clothes on their back
And she felt so content with a man named Mac
