My niece turns three fingers today
every night she goes to bed
and dreams of mermaids
If I could
I would buy her this Mermaid ring
for one of her little digits.
Instead I sent her this book
It was my mum's when she was little-
it is quite large and needed an extra big parcel bag to send it to her.
When my sister and I were young
our mum would tuck up into bed
and wrap us up like parcels
she would write an address on our chests
place a stamp on our foreheads
tie a bow in the imaginary string
and send us off to sleep...
We would have dreams like this
Happy Birthday Fairy Queen Mermaid Elsa.
You bring so much love to all of us
May your life be limitless. X
