They gather round enchanted
as she weaves her magic tales
of butterflies and fairy wings
and dragons with huge scales.
Mesmerised with her stories
to another world they go
as characters become alive
and cheeks are all aglow.
With baited breath and rounded eyes
they see the fairies dance
their lacy wings fly all about
the children in a trance.
The dragon has them all agog
imaginings of breathing fire
and while she weaves such wonders
of these they'll never tire.
Content to sit and listen
in this world of fantasy
what better way to make them feel
so precious and so free.
