My favorite fairy tale

If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat a Disney fan. So it wouldn't be a far fetched idea that my favorite fairy tale would also be a Disney movie. Take a guess...what do you think it is?

Cinderella....nope
Snow White....nah
Fantasia....(snicker-snicker) NO, not a fairy tale silly.

My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast. Now I will admit that this is a newer Disney movie, but Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite tale from even before the movie. Something about the story appealed to me. An unlovable, ugly, angry creature who is transformed by the beauty of true love. It's a story of hope and redemption. That's what I want to hold on to for my life.

Tomorrow the TV series Beauty and the Beast season 1 will be released. I will bring the Beast home.

So what character am I? Read this poem that I wrote in '94.

He comes to my window
quietly seeking love and warmth
A creature from the outside
desiring only to belong
In fear I draw away
finding the window a mirror
And the beast my own
