One more time, if only.

Please, why should I believe in Faeries

When they have stopped believing in me

And why are the trees, just made now of wood

Not spirits that they once would be

Why are dreams just wisps of smoke

When once they were strands of gold

And why oh why is love so frail

Leaving nothing left now to hold.

Give me one more dream to dream please

Give me one more hand in my hand

Give me one more love in my life please

Before I leave my dust in the sand.

    It’s not Love that is frail, it’s we humans that are. Love is forever, if two people are right for each other and they both want it to last, it does. All we have to do is stop being afraid. Then hold out your hand for the last time and what happiness and joy and peace and above all, contentment, which only Love gives us. Without Love, nothing is any good. Such a sad poem Bob but beautifully expressed by you. xx
