Mommy watches from above
gazing down with ardent love,
dragons call her little girl
smiling, watching, kissing curl.
Teddy kept in careless hold,
new friends galore to be told
how much she loves their happy ways,
kisses floating as she plays.
A sleepyhead remembers well
that she was told not to tell
of friends in garden down the way
for her alone to sing and play.

This lad has promise.
Have you got fairies at the bottom of your garden?
I have a compost heap, I wonder if this is why you write such good stuff and mine whiffs a bit?

Couplets! We never get to see those anymore thank you! And it was handled gracefully. Might check the extra space in the 2nd to last line. Good stuff!
