Dedicated to: The members of the AWNWML
and to our friends from Aladdin. You are with me always.

A decade falls
Its time is done
The curtain closes
As sets the sun

All is not lost
The heart beats on
A warm thought reminds us
That life stays strong

A decade ago
Magic unwrapped
A belief was remembered
New beauty wept

Forgotten it soon fell
To those without heart
To those unbelieving
It fell from the stars

But some kept it alive
When the others turned away
It was more than a dream
Let others think what they may

More than a story
More than just words
Its flight was unending
As it took on our world

The gift was bestowed
And, now inside us somewhere
Is the place we escape
We find solace there

Friends who accept us
Who we know as our own
Their light shines upon us
We are never alone

A story began ten years ago this day
A door opened and invited we came
We embraced what we saw
And knew without doubt
That our world was changed
For the secret was out
