a story for cate and ava

Date May 23, 2008

 

There is a land of dreams far away

Where little girls hide and wander and play

There are jungles and deserts and castles and kings

and rivers and oceans and make believe things.

Like fairies and dragons and witches and beasts

and pageants and balls and grand royal feasts.

You’ll dance and twirl on far away shores

and search for treasures through magical doors.

But you can’t stay forever, only a while.

So dream, my angel.  Imagine, my child.

    I love it! Love it, love it, love it! Did you make it up? Oh now I have to have a daughter so I can recite this to her at bedtime! 🙂

    Yes, Deanna. I made it up. The thought of you reciting it for your little girls just thrills me beyond measure.

    Can I substitute “boys” for “girls” and read it to mine all the time?! You are so very talented!
