Snow White was banished to the forest
her stepmother envied her beauty and health robust.
Told never to return to the palace
she was asked to make her home in the wilderness.

Found she 7 dwarfs whom she befriended
so loving and caring were these little defenders.
She in turn kept their cottage neat and clean
like a sister looks after her sibling clan.

After many years her stepmother found her
and used poison in comb and an apple to kill her.
Her defenders saw the comb and removed
but were not able to get rid of the throat blockage.

Kept in a glass casket she looked sleeping
her friends her defenders stood always guarding.
Lifting of the casket by the prince awoke her
her friends let her go realized her happiness was before her.

We should also be like Snow White and her friends
helping and caring for each other without thinking of gains.
In letting friends go their way lies our happiness
restricting and clipping wings is making them flightless.

These are beautiful stories
with powerful messages

all stories for children have messages, but we hardly see them as kids or as parents when we tell the stories to our children....

Fairy tales were written for adults.
They all have hidden messages. The
Cinderella story like many others
can mislead the reader with happy
endings. The search for happiness
or healing should start within us.
The classic story The Wizard of OZ
does bring that to light as Dorthy
follows the yellow brick road.
