Little Girl of the Lake

There is a little girl down there, the toddlers would say. If they peered under the water as they frolicked in play. When they got a bit older, they would not see her at all. Socialization taking away the fey as they began to get tall. The little girl of the lake understood it of course. She had once upon a time plunged into the water with her horse. He had gone on to the rainbow bridge and was long gone now. She lived for the days toddlers stopped by and said “wow!”
