MAGIC                                                      3/07/2012

I once found a thing called magic.  I found it, oh so well.
I was younger then and wondered then, how the magic casts it's spell.
I lived in a cave and hid from the light.  I kept things deep inside.
Then along came a wizard, dressed as a man, and he told me not to hide.
He held his head up where he went.  No one could put him down.
He showed me how to smile inside, and change it, from a frown.
He was older and much wiser.  He had borne the battle scars;
The ones inside his heart and soul; inside his mental bars.
"Every man is born the same - each man learns to talk."
"Every man, despite his wealth, at one time, learned to walk."
He waved his magic wand of truth, and lived life his own way.
Just by being near this man, I learned the words to say;
The magic spell to cast myself, and guide me on my way.
I owe exactly who I am, to the man who loved to play!
