Little eyes, shiny and bright Have so much to see Spotting wonders in this world Behind every rock and tree.
Tiny fingers reaching out Entwining mommy's hand Urging me to follow her Right into Wonderland.
Little feet (though sometimes stumbling) Know the way so well To a world where fairies live And unicorns do dwell.
Through the years and growing up And chasing wealth and fame The most of us forget this realm Which really is a shame.
But thanks to you, my darling child And your tugging little hand Life gave me a second chance To return to Wonderland...
(dedicated to and written for my beloved little Nissi <3) (2002)

About this poem:
I wrote it for my daughter and had planned to have a painting created by Marcel Lorange, who I had made friends with and whose fairy art I absolutely utterly adore. Money was short though, and I would not have wished to talk the artist into working for less than what would have been deserved, so the painting unfortunately never came to be, but dreaming of having it done was worth something too ^^
