No one was granting her fairy wishes;
She wouldn’t be saved with magic kisses.
Hard work brought her fortune,
And hope was her horseman;
Her fairytale was everyday blisses.

Some things are better than fairy-tales.

For some, just turning the everyday into bliss would be like having a fairy tale wish granted.

Angela, “Everyday Blisses” is wonderful. You stopped me in my tracks with, “And hope was her horseman”. What a fantastic line! Sometimes I think if there’s no hope, there’s no tomorrow. Have a terrific Friday evening and enjoy your weekend. ~ Mia
