Twinkletoes and Butterfingers

The broken cake
is witness to
twinkletoes and butterfingers

The scattered toys
speak loudly of
twinkletoes and butterfingers

Splashing water
from the bath
twinkletoes and butterfingers

Hugs and kisses
are precious from
twinkletoes and butterfingers.

Fairies Angels Butterflies

Little fairies, little angels
little butterflies around us flit
stay oh so still
and watch them fly
right out of our very midst.

Babies to girls, girls to women
they'll soon be grown and gone
stay oh so still
and watch them fly
right out of our very midst.

This flower of our dreams...

This little one
who runs - who flies! -
who races the wind
will touch the sky
when we are slow
and old and gone.

But the light from our eyes
will shine in her sight
and our passion for life
will help lessen her strife
as she reaches for stars
forever.
