She lives in her own little fairytale land full of colourful rainbows, Its a beautiful land Chasing the butterflies, laughing with glee So wild and untamed, in a land so free Yes, she lives in a beautiful fairytale land Where the sun always shines through the rain Theres candy stripe trees with chocolate leaves And mountains of icecream on peppermint streams Yes, its a beautiful land A beautiful land. As she smiles in her sleep at night Of what does she dream Are there white fluffy kittens or caramel creams Just as long as that little light shines oer the bed There are no worrys and cares in that pretty head For shes lost in her beautiful fairytale land Lost in her beautiful land, Her beautiful land. Oh its beautiful,when your just two years old So much to do and everythings so new You light up my life with your hair of gold And that's why,.. these words are for you As you run through your beautiful fairytale land Just remember that I love you

About this poem:
This is part of a song I wrote as I watched my then two year old daughter skipping through the long grass some twenty six years ago...I am glad to say that she (as an artist) still lives in that fairytale land where anything is possible.
You have described and captured that moment vividly in this song/poem Raven --for a loving parent , life is made up of special moments like these ... This is a beautiful dedication to one of your daughters -the memory of which you have worded so elegantly here . warm regards -Fiona
