Unicornkisses

Be careful where you tread

On a misty winter's night

For stories tell of things we dread

But they may not be right.

Be careful where you tip-toe

On a morning kissed with spring

For you may see the unicorn

As she stops to breathe dew in.

Be careful where you stop and sing

Should you do so near a mountain stream

For you may lose your heart my friend

To the mysteries of a dream.

Be careful where you stand

If your back is turned to moon

For you may feel the fleeting breath

Of a passing unicorn.

Be careful what you think

And when you say you ought

For unicorns they know your heart

And see into your thoughts.

Be careful, be careful

Do not rush or force

For otherwise you will never know

How a unicorn kiss is bought.
