A Tear Shed
dreaming of a time when magic long ago danced
now questioned and in tatters leaving a sense of dismay
when once we trusted and believed
in dragons and their mystique ruled the day
somewhere in our journey we lost our way
our innocence and sense of adventure misplaced
and our lives became all the more grey
the day we allowed the dragons to be dismembered
time now is measured
and dragons have lost their sway
among the children who have now decided
to spend time with computers and no longer play
and we remember that sad day
when imagination and dragons were abandoned
and morn the time when dragons were knights prey
and became yet another page in history to be remembered
