Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

To Wizards and Mages of Magic,
Is it true that you see the unseen?
And to Fairies with trails of stardust,
Are we old enough yet to believe?
For Dragons who soar in the heavens,
Am I trusted to share in your gold?
And for the Dwarven kind, alone in the mountains, Is my heart one of the brave and the bold?
You see, reality is a mystery,
A puzzle that’s yet to be solved.
So Fantasy is the only escape,
The escape for both young and the old.
We all understand that a Fairy-tale,
Is a story made up for the child.
But maybe a Fairy-tales’ story,
Is the life of a world yet to be styled.
So live the dream of the Dreamer,
For one day this land might be gone.
But remember, Fantasy will be there forever, Always ready for you to explore.
