Beyond The Blue Hills

Dedicated to Dad

Beyond the blue hills
I once lived in Dragon Town
With great ruby Scorch
And his beautiful nursery
Shy and gallant Spot
With the fantastic restaurant
Talented Bernie
And his unique works of art
I never forgot
Not Goldie or sweet Amy
Not good cousin Spike
Nor the Black Dragon trickster
But I am not so young
And you now are growing old
Rarely do you read,
Sing songs, or tell me stories
But I will not forget
Grand old days of Dragon town
Beyond the blue hills

Hills Blue Beyond

Thanks for sharing. It sounds sentimental, can you elaborate on the medieval symbolism?

Not really any symbolism in there. My dad made up a bunch of stories about a town where dragons and people lived and worked together. It wasn't set in any particular place or time. The main characters were the dragons. Spot owned a resaurant with his human friend Amy, Spike was a security guard at the bank, Scorch ran a plant nursery, and goldie was Bernie's girlfriend and a shrink. A lot of the stories referenced a myth about The Black Dragon who played tricks on other dragons and people. I'm trying to talk Dad into writing a few of the stories down and see about publishing as a children's book.
