The Unicorn

I looked out of my window

early one beautiful morn,

and saw frolicking on my lawn

a magical Unicorn.

-

She moved with grace and elegance,

her hair was white as snow,

her eyes were of the purest blue

and she gave off a gentle glow.

-

I was afraid to let her see me,

for fear she'd run away,

but she turned and looked at me,

saying "What a lovely day."

-

"Now that you have seen me,

I must give one wish to you.

So, tell me the desires of your heart

and I'll make your dreams come true."

-

"I never had a little girl.

I only had one son,

I could never have another.

Could you really give me one?"

-

"Riches, I can give with ease,

and for them, there is no price.

But to give you a little girl

takes a special sacrifice."

-

So saying, she began to spin,

faster and faster, she did whirl.

And when the spinning ended,

there stood a beautiful little girl.

-

She said, "My name is Taisha,

I was once a unicorn.

But because you really wanted me,

God allowed me to be born."

-

So, now I have my little girl,

she's as special as can be,

because that loving Unicorn

became a girl for me.
