Beliefs
For trusting children everywhere
There always come that day
When logic compels them to
Put fairy tales away.
Sad it is, I must admit,
When they accept the truth
That no generous fairy
Rewards each missing tooth.
No Easter Bunny hops along
On fat, white, furry legs
With an unlikely treasure
Of pastel candy eggs.
And, alas, must come that Christmas
When suddenly they see
That Santa Claus and reindeers
Just simply cannot be.
"Bringing toys to children everywhere
On a single tiny sleigh."
Is absurdly impossible
In every single way.
Yes, it's true, all children
Will soon discard themselves
All belief in fairies,
Goblins, ghosts and elves.
Yet while giving up all fantasies
Without another nod.
For reasons inexplicable
Most still believe in god.
