Poetry Corner: Some Dreams Do

Some Dreams Do 10-19-01“Once upon a time…”Or so the story goes,And then in perfect rhymeThe fairytale flows.To the beautiful, captive princessThe perfect prince or knightRides to save her from distressAnd everything ends all right.But “once upon a time” isn’t now,Not all tears end in laughter,And we can’t always see howIt could end “happily ever after.”Life isn’t a fairytale, it’s realStill, things aren’t always as they seem;Though it becomes painfulCling tightly to your dreams.No, there is no perfect rhyme,And perfect knights are few,No “once upon a time,”Yet, some dreams do come true.~Jenelle Leanne Schmidt
