The Dragon

Written for my son because he loves dragons and fantasy almost as much as I do.

The Dragon

 

Breath of fire and deepest heat,

 hide yourself in forest deep.

Flee the mighty Dragon's wrath,

destruction in the Dragon's path.

Listen to the legend told_

Knights of old

with swords drawn high,

tried to pierce the Dragon's hide.

Many perished on that day.

The others fled without delay.

The Dragon won the battle fought,

but it was only peace the Dragon sought.

Only one small boy stood his ground,

singing with a joyful sound.

Saving all by making friends

with the Dragon in the end.

The best. I will use it for my story about a dragon. If that's okay with you...

Reminded me of the beautiful children's song " Puff the Magic Dragon " by Peter, Paul and Mary....
Nice one...
