You see, I built all these great shiny castles
Out of air and fairytales and need
My need to love and be loved
I think you built some too
But I don’t know what they looked like
I was too busy piling up summer palaces
Full of flowers and sunshine
Laughter and starry nights beside the fire
We laugh as I chase the boy and dog
Around and round the garden
I turned my face away
From anything that didn’t fit
And hoped that the fairytale of love
Would work its magic on us
But I see now
I am looking now
Only we can work that magic
Love takes courage
You can’t build it out of hope
And air and fairytales and need
And it should not be locked away
In castles and palaces
You must love everything
From the ground up
You must join with everyone
Join the dance
I won’t turn my face away from you
Although your jagged edges
Hurt my eyes
Although your rough surfaces
Scratch my skin
Although I do not know how to make
The flowers bloom in our garden
Great post 🙂
