Authors note: This poem was written for the beginning of a novel, ( as yet untitled), my daughter is penning! Can you tell how thrilled I am that she is writing?!

When once a tale, twas never told
A child was brought into the fold
Always knowing she was special
Unaware she was, of her inner devil
With powers to make the bold collapse
And let the meek fight back, perhaps
Elders let her find her way, never letting go
Of the magic, watching it take its course
Til it was time to let her know
Yes, the feelings she held, dark, inside her
Would open her heart, and guide her
To the wonders she would finally find
The ones she has hidden, deep in her mind
