Have You Ever Seen A Unicorn Cry

Have you ever seen a unicorn cry?
Have you ever watched an Eagle fly?
Have you ever truly felt the rain?
Have you ever cried out in pain?
Do you ever feel the air?
Do you even truly care?
Have you ever seen a unicorn cry?
Have you ever kissed the sky?
*Unicorns are the most beautiful
They are the most innocent of creatures
When a unicorn cries their tears turn into
Bubbles of happiness & blessings that
land on unsuspecting people,
The ones who need them the most
So have I ever seen a unicorn cry?
Yes I have
I see and feel them everyday
I’m blessed to be alive
Every time something good to me happens
I know there is a unicorn up there, waiting for me
We are sending our * Goodbye *
Prayers for our Iplay Friend
