The Twenty Fourth, Jan. 24, 2011

Something special for a little friend's birthday
Happy birthday, Kid!!!

With a mighty roar and great flapping of wings
she climbs into the sky as if pulled by strings
sunlight glitters off her scales making a rainbow
that dances in the eyes of the watchers below

Her wings spread so wide they cover the sky
and with strong flaps, the dragon will fly!
Soaring higher and higher fly up toward the sun
then dive toward the ground to watch people run

then swooping back up at the last possible moment
the wind of her wings knocking down a large tent
as she slows down her flight she roars out a "Sorry!"
Everyone is laughing and tells her "Don't worry!"

She is a powerful dragon, majestic and proud
often daydreaming as she floats on a cloud
but when she is needed she answers the call
this dragon named Lilly, a friend to us all
