The Wonder

I wonder what she felt like
When Alice took her tumble
Did she worry, dread, or fret?
Or was her mind a jumble?

I wonder what led the Big Bad Wolf
To the piggy's houses that day
Was he simply on a stroll?
Or did he want to blow his thoughts away?

I wonder why Princess Ariel
Wanted to leave the sea
Was she bored of her collection of things?
Or was she despairingly lonely?

I wonder why Rapunzel
Ever let down her hair
Was the man below her one true love?
Or did she want to escape solitaire?

I wonder how they felt
When the dwarfs first met Snow White
Were they blinded by her beauty
Or were they filled with fright

Maybe these fairy tales
Are more than what they seem
Life's not about being happy in the end
It's about discovering the story's true theme
