Unicorn Friend

The raindrops had stopped falling
On that cold summer's day
The sun was thawing the clouds away
When suddenly from behind the
Rainbow in a silvery haze
Something magnificent in gentle flight
Came drifting down like snow in the night
Something magical with eyes shinning bright
With a sturdy horn, and a mane of pure white
I gazed at this vision or was it a dream
Was it a Unicorn, Could it have been?
A mythical creature we've all heard of
The creature of hope and true love


Bringing some hope to my lonely heart
Trying to mend the faith
That had fallen apart
I reached out to touch its beautiful face
Longing to take it in a loving embrace
The eyes of the Unicorn met mine
For a moment in time
The message was clear this
Creature was mine
To walk beside me on those long
Lonely days
To help me understand its
Magical ways
I had found a friend, who would always
Be near
In times of sorrow, loss and fear
I carry this vision close to my heart
My love for my Unicorn will never part


It will walk beside me until the day
That special someone comes
My way
Then my Unicorn and I will have to part
The Unicorn will have to find
Another lonely heart
Someone who needs a symbol of
Hope by their side
Someone to chase away the evil tide
Someone to bring back faith that is lost
Someone to chase away the frost
Unicorn, please never forget me
When that raindrops stop falling
And the sun thaws the clouds away
Because my Unicorn,
I might need you someday
To chase sorrow and despair away
