Here you are in a fantasy world made by me
I will open the gates, for this secret you will see.
I welcome you in. Enter in my land
which opens its heart, when held in my very own hand.
look at the view at rainbow's end.
Sparkling fairy dust begs bad spirits to mend.
Diamond blue streams, from mountains fall
to quench its thirst, and listen to birds call.
If you are weak, my garden delights
to offer their energy, and give its might.
The massive oak tree gives shelter each day,
to sprinkle dust, whenever fairies play.
Their giggling laughter floats with the breeze
Creating beautiful music, for the valley to please.
For now you have seen my magical valley made for you to see,
As for this was a secret I am sorry to say you have to leave.
