On a blustery summer day
I gazed in the meadow, and I saw it sway
Its beauty so stunning that I could only stare
As I’d never held such kindness in my glare
Multi-colored horn with whiteish as white mane
It galloped, so full of life, no it was not so tame
A butterfly caught its heart-shaped eye
And with joy, it frolicked through the midnight sky
Day after day, I caught a glimpse
As the unicorn created its funny hijinks
So happy I was to share this dimension with it
It was real I said, no matter the myth
As the days passed by, I memorized its ways
Trying to be like it, I would meet its gaze
I started to think it was sharing this world just with me
‘Cause I asked everyone, is it a unicorn that you see?
No one owned up to what I knew was so true
And days when it seemed elusive, I would not be so blue
I knew the Unicorn would show up here and there
When I least expected it, it would certainly appear
The seasons changed and dark befell the forest floor
Its lightness turned night to day with every smile it bore
I’d close my eyes and still feel its spirit surround
The Unicorn’s warmth shown so clear and all around
It’s found the answer to life’s age old goal
The key to happiness with its sunlight glow
With each day, I will learn from the very best
How to appreciate this unique day from all the rest
I turned around and then I swore I saw the Unicorn was right there
In the pond’s moonlight it was plainly near
The Unicorn knew no bounds to what it could be
It’s a sentiment I see now in the reflection in me
