the rabbit was right

the rabbit was right

A Poem by Julia Squires

you say that we're late
that wonderland waits
i don't know what to take
would you please pack the case?

you say we have no time
we've lived too many lies
and now that needs to die
so wave that world goodbye

you say we'll be there soon
it's after the afternoon
our songs are out of tune
but i love to hear you croon

you say we're almost there
the ache is hard to bear
i don't know what to wear
would you please fix up my hair?

you say it looks just fine
and now we have arrived
when you lift me i feel light
turns out the rabbit's right

i love the twist on Alice in Wonderland (my favorite story) and gave it a new emotional stand point. Anyway, this is amazing. Great job. The last stanza is by far my favorite
