The Girl Who Taught Me Magic

 When a small child I did not believe in magic

 Then I found without it life is dull and tragic

 I met a strange girl with faraway eyes

 she listened to flowers and could hear their sighs

Her voice was like chiming bells

 she would sing over meadows and leafy dells

 Whispering secrets to the hills

 Understanding a starlings shrill

She taught me to speak with the babbling brook

 To know a bird by just one look

 and breathe the magic perfume of the flowers

 She could ease my mind for hours and hours

 She taught me never to be alone

 To find smooth pebbles and befriend a stone

 How to bathe in a storms rainbow

 and make angels in the snow

 She laughed at wild thunderstorms

 on a hot summer morns

 How to dance while I walked

and to stop with all creatures for a  talk

 Then when all her magic secrets I knew

 She fluttered her wings and to another she flew

 Now I know magic is not a trick

 Its natures wonder of real magic

Even now she will drop by

Sliding down a rainbow in the sky

 When she sends a snowflake to kiss my face

 I know shes back with her magic grace
