Stand up and state your full name please

Said the judges to the lady fair

My name is Rebecca S. Russel and

Kind jury with you my story I will share

You see I was accused and stand to be judged

In my own defense I would like a say

Standing tall I now plead guilty as charged

I’ll serve the sentence , I’ll gladly pay

For the crime of dreaming I’ve been told

Of wishing things on a falling star at night

I’m convicted of seeing with my heart

Of putting pen to paper with insight

Of believing in elves and fairies and gnomes

Of finding sweet memories against the odds

Punish me if you will my friends

For seeing the sometimes folly of the Gods

You could imprison my body in a cell

Cut me off from all that I hold dear

So be it I’ll smile with shackled hands

For my words were meant to share…
