Signed, T. Fairy

Written for my oldest daughter, Charisma Suzanne (Shanaberg) Sullivan, on October 18, 1987; the day she lost her first tooth!

SIGNED, T. FAIRY

 

My Dear Chari,

 

I am the tooth fairy;

You've lost your first tooth;

The first sign of passing youth;

I know how much it means to you

And I'll bet you wonder how I knew;

Well, I've been watching you grow

And, as you slept, I peeked under your pillow;

It seems like only yesterday,

You were a toothless little baby;

Now, you are a sweet young lady

And, at last, you needed me

To leave you a reminder of your joy

That you may use to buy a special toy;

Don't be sad that you did not see me,

Because fairies can only live if they are free;

Be happy knowing I give you my love,

My precious little dove.

 

Signed,

 

T. Fairy

I love you, Chari!

Cute :) I do agree that It did go kind of fast paced, but I don't know if I would break it into stanzas. I like the structure as it is. But its not really a problem anyway, more of an observation. I liked it. It had a "guardian angel" type feel to it. And I like that it was signed "T.Fairy" instead of "The Tooth Fairy". Makes it seem more real :)

Reminds me of the time a little girl told me, "will you quit watching me when I am sleeping?" this was at a Christmas party and I was wearing my red suit.

Very sweet. It has a good sense of wonder and tenderness written expressly for a growing child. Introducing your children to the wonder of faeries is an important thing I think, it gives them inspiration to dream and imagine a world beyond ours and opens them to the possibility that anything might exist.

This is so sweet! There is a loving gentleness that simply glows, like she must have upon reading it. Just wonderfully written and absolutely magical!

Poem is beautiful. The precious time we can spend with our children keep us content for a lifetime. The story was sweet and kind. A very good poem.
