Four Walls Not a Prison Make

She lay asleep in dreamland just six years old, been poorly for awhile
She loved to see books of fairies, been thinking, how can I make her smile.

Rose was due to go for treatment, away for just two days in clinic
Got busy on the internet arranging surprises with a click

We have an organisation to make children’s dreams come alive
help me make a fairies den, of four bedroom walls as a surprise

They arrived in numbers all with a special chore
Four walls turned into make believe, a chapter from folklore

Her face broke out in smiles, tears of joy fell from all eyes
With a gap for front teeth she lisped" I can be a fairy, fanks for the surprise".

Four walls need not a prison make, can turn it into a dream
Be a knight in shiny armour or a wrestler in a ring.
