Our Little Haven

When I was just a little girl With mind as always, in a whirl Me and my cousin, we would roam Far, far away from my sweet home We'd make our way to some rocks we knew All covered by green moss, we two Oh it was such a magic place And left huge smiles upon my face To us it was a fairyland With imagination vast and grand We both saw fairies, little elves too Dancing daintily as they do When that time came, we had to leave Both our little hearts would grieve We'd leave that haven, her and me Our minds brim filled with memories So we went back to normalcy And though it made us both unhappy We knew that soon we'd go back there And see those we folk everywhere

Nicely done again lady, I love the magic in this thank you for sharing such a special memory cheri
