No Fairy Tale ~

there was
a
little girl
with
festive curls 
infectious grin
dancing
eyes
once upon
a
time

she hugged her dolls
climbed the trees
read her books
tried to please
but
changes
came


and mystified
she hid
she cried
her world
grew
dark
distorted
twisted
~
once
upon
a
time
there. was.
~
I grew up in a home
with 
loving and supportive parents
not all little children are so fortunate
this is written for those little girls [and boys]
that haven't known a home
where there
is
love and nurture and encouragement

Laura Boggess 
featured a give away on her blog
and I received
a book
entitled
"Thin Places - A Memoir"
by
Mary DeMuth
it is the true story
of
one such child

thank you, Laura, for the gift of the book
and
thank you, Mary, for the gift of your story
