The Magician

I am the magician

And when I give my wand a tap

Roaring lions will become tame

And elephants will dance.

I can make my companion, or "audience member" vanish

I can juggle- dozens of emotions!

I can walk across that risky rope

And magically vanish devotions.

Clowns will hide behind painted smiles

As prideful people sail through the air

Magic mirrors will hide the truth

And thousands of eyes will just stare.

I am the magician

And when I give my wand a tap

Jokers will flee the deck as doves

And rabbits will escape my hat.

I can uplift someone's spirit

And make any grey sky blue

Stand evil temptations for hours

I can be a dream come true!

I am the magician

But when I give my wand a tap

I can't even make my "audience member" love me

Or remember, care, or clap.
