you're not my fairy god-mother
you're not even a fairy god-aunt
you are my fairy god-friend
and when i need it most
you bring me sunshine
the items you select
with their orange sticker
cause a flicker behind my lids
and i start to tamp it down but i can't
quite control the upwell
and so oh well
here it goes again
i fall into verklempt land
my uncle taught me all about the place
he goes there quite often too, he's a gentle soul
like me, we both like chocolate milk shakes
and a good talk late in the evening
at family holidays where
we tell each other
all the important
things and how
we dearly love
our family.
you, fairy god-friend,
are to me, chosen family
i didn't know that could
be such sweet respite
but now well now
i truly know
and it is so good
and you are so dear
to me, in my
sappy, sodden heart.
