Magic - Monday's Child # 15

Monday's Child prompt for children's poetry or verse


She would shrink to their size
and swim through the streams,
the magic was real
no longer her dreams.
Then up in the air
they would fly upon wings
and visit new lands
and gather sweet things.
They were all her dear friends
but the best thing of all
was that no matter how
they'd be there if she'd call.

awwwww, this feels so dreamy and safe. Like a child who can totally depend on someone, even if they are imaginary someones. Great childrens poem.

You could set this to music :-)
The best thing of all is indeed to have reliable friends, albeit sometimes imaginary.
