You gave me the chance
To read a page
I’d never read before
You beckoned me to dance
With feet that barely
Touched the floor.
You opened worlds of fantasy
Where I shared life with fairies,
In realms of Lords and Kings;
But the tale was written for a child
And when I sprouted woman’s wings
You closed the book
And bade me take my leave,
Whilst you went on to other things.
