Tooth Fairies Last Night

 

Before the darkness of the sky grows light
And things in shadows come into sight.
Under your pillow you’ll see.
And for a second think of me.
And feel what I am feeling this last night.

A sprinkle of magic and money so small.
I have come because of your special call.
But your last gift of growing.
And your replacing dreams for knowing.
You can’t help it your older and that is all.

Oh small and beautiful one as you.
To see all things around as new.
The true world is not what it may seem.
Sadly its magic will disappear like a dream.
Your wishes will change and your interests will too.

My spirit is happy as well as sad.
For I think of all the times we have had.
As you mature you’ll move on.
In that way I’ll be gone.
But in the order of things it’s not so bad.

The time has come for you to face what is real.
But before I leave a small tooth I must steal.
It will soon be day.
So I must be on my way.
Vanishing like a ghost leaving only your heart to feel.
