The Road to Wonderland

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)

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 ^^
