Happy ever after
Is there such a thing as this
Or is it a myth of fairy tails
Does great love conquer all
And old age sleep with such joy
That tales of life make babes smile
Or is the truth too hostile
Full of embittered sorrow
That such tales are needed
To hide the reality of life
The loss of love and time
The illness which takes so much
The pain and anger we inflict
To ourselves and others
Perhaps for a lucky few it comes
To close their stories
But for many I guess
And speaking from the self
Happy ever after is just
The stuff of fairy tales

I would like to translate this poem
Never give up hope. A fairytale definition is different for everybody just like love is different for everyone. Finding a soulmate, someone who has the same beliefs, dreams and values that you do, I believe, is key. Only then will you find the fairytale that forever will make you happy.
