Tina’s Magic Box

Tina, inside and outside this box for you
Looks like it’s covered with glitter glue
However, Tina, that’s not the case
I hope this puts a smile on your face!

What looks as though it’s colored glitter
Is something sweet and never bitter
It’s very special, please believe me
It’s what the Fairy gave to me.

The Fairy said, it is a must
To decorate the box with Fairy Dust
So instead of Glitter Glue, you see
Its authentic Dust, she reassured me.

I told her what it would mean to you
So she took the box and her Fairy pouch too
She sprinkled it very generously
And said, “This is for Tina; I’m trusting in you

To give her the box that was made carefully
I believe she will love it, just wait and see
It will never fail to remind her of me
And every Fairy she’ll ever see.
--Wishing Well


(My best friend, Tina, loves Fairies, so I
painted a little wooden box and put a Fairy
sticker on top. Inside I put two charms
on a chain and glitter glued them on the
back top left and right sides so they
would hand down when the box was
open. I wrote this poem and put it in the
box and sent it to her.)


If I …

If I could be a celebrity who you loved to be around
Made you smile like the thing you lost was suddenly just found
If I could grant you wishes as if you met a Genie
Or could cook like you and make you a big plate of fettuccine
If I could string the stars on blue ribbon to match your eyes
Then decorate your house with them to give you a surprise
If I had something you wanted more than anything you own
I’d wrap mine up with a note that said, “This is not a loan”
If I could be or do those things, such talent I’d possess
But if I could be what makes you happy, that would be the best.

Aww, WishingWell, these are beautiful. I love them. Your writing reminds me of back then when I used to write poetry, kinda the same style as yours, bit different.

The Fairy one, that's a lovely gesture.

Very nice

That is such a sweet poem and such a sweet gift for you friend. She's very lucky!

That's such a lovely poem!

Thank you so much for your compliments on my poems!
