Let's Go Across The Story Bridge

Let’s go across the story bridge,
A whole new world is waiting for us there.
Its different to the world we live in today,
Innocence is sweet and the aged is rare.

The Fairies flutter fleetly overhead,
as the flowers waltz with the wind.
The Fawn frolic freely led,
and the troubles have all thinned.

Build cubby houses of fern fronds
and create leaf boats to sail in the ponds.
Have a picnic in a garden of roses
and absorb all that this land proposes.

The crock of gold awaits us at the end of the rainbow,
across the wondrous story bridge we must go,
For now, the Journey has come to an end.
I wish we could come back and visit someday
The time has come and we must descend… Away,
