Elves twittered on the day you were born,
“Aye, look it ‘er, shes a wee one, she is, must be one o’ us.”
Aye, wee ye be, even to me, but an elf is
what ye were not.

Fine down all ‘round, the hue of summer wheat,
wee features surrounded by a golden frame, aye
and those that saw through the plate o’ glass
marveled at the perfection they saw there.

A whirlin’ dirvish, ye’ was, spinnin’ like a top ye’ were,
Dancin’ all the while to a tune only you could hear,
Doin’ flips and ta-das on an imaginary stage
with your flare dramatic, yes it were, aye.

Magic twirled ye’, pushed ye’,
the elves had a hand in it, aye
They always claimed ye, yes they did,
took the credit, they nay entitled to it.

There always was a wee bit of the
elves in ye, oh, a sprinkle of ginger,
a smidgen of cinnamon like freckles
across ye nose.

Bit when they came to claim ye,
I caught ‘em tryin’ to sneak past,
I said, “Git out, ye elves, hear me now,
Shes ourn from birth, we loves her.”

“We loves her too,” them elves did say,
“we already shared our gold with her.
See there, its in her heart, aye,
we give it the morn she was born.”

~

So mine it, use it, claim it for ye own.
Ye be blessed with the golden heart
from those that give it freely to ye
them pixilated elves, such as they ‘er.

(I wrote this when my middle daughter Amanda was about five.. she's 24 now and still has a bit of the elf in her.)
