Magical Dragon
By Lisa Noe

Sampson was a dragon, who lived amongst the streams
All the villagers looked at him as though he were a dream.
But Sampson was real and his eyes would spin around
They’d make him rise toward Heaven as he would leave the ground.

Some said that he breathed fire, blowing smoke from his nose
Others said that he was magic, which came from his toes.
That old dragon lived many a day
The magic dragon spoke, this is what they say.

He said he loved nature and was a protector of the woods
He worked hard watching nature grow best that he could.
The creatures of the forest looked to him for help
He watched the fowl, the fish, the critter he did it all himself.

The children of the village were terribly afraid of him
They broke a branch from off a tree and hit him with a limb.
He blew flames towards the sky then he told them he’s not that type of guy.
He would never harm them, Nor would he ever tell them a lie.

He would befriend them, this he always said
He would be their friend until the day that he was dead.
A magical friendship so special indeed
Through him they will surely succeed.
