My Unicorn

Before me in a field of green,
appears a radiant shining dream.
It dances around so light and fair,
as if it glides upon the air.
A coat so shimmering, shining white,
a horn so brightly golden, it gives off light.
So pure of heart, so full of life,
my unicorn dances off into the night.

Come back, come back, come back I say,
please come back so we can play.
Slowly he turns and shakes his head,
"I cannot with you stay and play but
I leave with you this instead."
A pure heart, a peaceful soul,
and dreams yet to be born,
just don't ever stop beliving in the Unicorn.

He turned then and danced out of my sight,
He left me there, but not alone that night.
For in my heart there'll always be,
The memory of my Unicorn and me.
