Daddy has a secret! He was woken by a light! <br />Something or someone was moving through the garden late one night. <br />He crept up to the window and, much to his surprise, <br />He saw a band of tiny folk - about a foot in size. <br /> <br />He knew he must be dreaming, so he blinked and shook his head, <br />But this action served to sharpen visibility instead! <br />He held his breath as he watched in awe (and just a hint of pleasure) <br />For surely what he witnessed was the burying of fairy treasure! <br /> <br />When their task was finished, the imps stood in a ring. <br />They started dancing round and round. The speed was dizzying. <br />Then, just before the sun came up, to herald a brand new day, <br />The giddy motion slowed to a halt, and they simply flew away. <br /> <br />Later, he told his children where that fortune was interred, <br />And off we went on a treasure hunt, without another word. <br />There wasn't much as I now look back: a couple of pennies, a shilling, <br />a tanner and some threepeny bits. We found it all so thrilling! <br /> <br />As an adult I know how that money got there, but this memory still makes me glad. <br />Now I'm keeping the glamour alive in my heart - <br /> The magic that started with Dad! ! ! !<br /><br />Dawn Ferrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/golden-memory-a-true-story/
