Puff the Magic Dragon

Walked on the strand

He looked down and then he saw

Footprints in the sand

A voice said, 'Mr. Dragon,

Please don't be so sad.

My name is Jenny Paper

And I was sent here by my dad.'

The irony is that when I was about five or four, I used to play this over and over again on my cassette player. I just loved the music, even though I had no idea what it was about. Now I'm 13, and I hadn't listened to it in years. And when I listened to it, I cried. Just cried and cried.

I remember when I was little sometimes my family ate at this diner that had little jukeboxes at every table and you could put in a quarter and select a song to play. My mom would give me a quarter and I would always pick this song :) (since all the songs were from the 50s and 60s this one was on the list)

I see comments on songs what say 'I cry to the song' or stuff like that, well this is the song I cry to.

so ein wundervolles lied, das auch noch nach 46 Jahren so geliebt wird wie damals, das ist musik♥

@fan1odw what do you have to cry about at 13? I mean, I hope you didn't have any traumatic events happen to you! But I'm 21 and still have no idea what I cry about sometimes... enjoy life while you can! Soon you'll be paying taxes and working 12-hour days to be able to pay for a pitcher of milk or two. Oh and your eye sight will fade, as will your hearing, and don't even get me started on the weight you'll be gaining!

...but till then, smile on my friend!
