I Was Born a Fairy Child

I was born a fairy child I remember being born from a dark warm place I was told to leave and even though I said no some other one said yes Forces beyond my control made it so. I sat on a beach I remember that and my mother sat behind and we waited for ..... I know not what. but he came and my heart it leapt as he sat down on the sand. and made me feel full of him. I remember pictures in the sand that he drew for me with a stick, some things I didn't know, but that was no matter, He was there and he talked to me. and I know that he mattered. I'm told now he wrote my name And I saw the sea rub it out. Then he wasn't round us anymore, and my memories just not there. my mother says he once came back before he went to war, and I remember a train station trains puffing steam and dirt and being told goodbye, mother says I said goodbye "goodbye uncle" I'm told I said. I was a fairy child, and these are fairy memories that I'm told I couldn't have. but they are there, and more besides as I grew to fairy size.
