AdventurelandA Poem by Beth ElainaDo you ever wish real life was more like the storybooks?
Sing me a song, O beautiful bird
Of all the interesting stories you’ve heard
I love to hear the tales you tell
Of forest glens where the faeries dwell
Whisper, O wind, of secrets you know
Surely you find them wherever you blow
Tell me of deeds nearly forgot
Speak of Atlantis and Camelot
Tell me, Grandfather, of days long gone
Tell me of battles and hearts that you’ve won
Tell me of men who lived and died
Defending freedom, honor, and pride
Tell me a story, sing me a song
Take me away to the place I belong
Take me to lands of which I’ve but read
Take me from here, where adventure is dead
