KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE A CHILD

It is to believe in love,

To believe in loveliness,

To believe in belief,

It is to be so little that the elves

Can reach to whisper in your ears.

It is to turn pumpkins into coaches

And mice into horses,

Lowliness into loftiness

And nothing into everything.

For each child has its Fairy Godmother

In its own soul.
