What Little Girls Believe

With fantasy a little girl
   could fly away at will.
Or twitch her nose to cast a spell
   just to get a thrill.
Find holes to hide, where deep inside
   a rabbit was her friend.
Then try out beds, three bears had said,
   the rules were hers to bend.
If kissing toads was really how
   a handsome prince was found,
No wonder why all little girls
   with fantasy sleep sound.

A lovely reminiscence, Sheri. You covered so many iconic fantasies of a small child in this short, endearing poem ~ John
