Author’s Note: For twenty-five years, off and on, my mother worked on a book about tooth fairies. I wrote a few chapters to help her finish it, but the book was born from her wonderful imagination. The following poem is about her and her beloved fairy novel, Journey into the Land of the Wingless Giants.
She views the world with childlike wonder
In everything beauty she does see
The fairies all adore her
And she loves them equally
She honors their lives in the telling
Of their stories both mighty and small
And all God’s children everywhere
Take delight in reading them all
The power of her visions
Keeps her forever young
With each new chapter in her life
A new adventure is begun
She’s a very special person
Who is loved by one and all
And especially
She is loved by me
My friend, my mentor, my mom
