Brave Not Perfect- Formally: I'm No Perfect Poet.

To Fairy Heidi

Someone please show this
When I'm gone
To the beautiful 
Golden haired
Fire heart
Fairy Princess
Whose name is
Heidi

Hello
To the stunningly
Strong
Smiley-brown-eyed girl
I love you so very
Much

I hope I taught you how
To be the most bravest
Open minded
Cheeky back-chatting
Kindest
Version of yourself

I know though
That I don't need to hope it
I have already seen it
That fire burning in you
That I have always carried
In me too

I once started out as a princess
Before I was crowned a queen
& I learned that as a princess
You see lots of dark with the light
But these dark experiences do not have to turn
You cold
Even after battling angry monsters
You can keep your heart
Warm

You can use your magic powers to
Protect whoever you can
Be kind to those who no one is ever very
Kind to
Be a listener for those who have no one to
Speak to
And speak to those who do not know how
To speak to anyone

Remember that every nasty word that is said
Always has a price to pay
& the price is never worth it
The victim always hurts from it
So try to choose
Kindness & if you do
Explode
Like all us Fairy-Humans do
Make sure you know
When to say
I'm sorry

I know how much of a
Smart girl you are though 
So you
In time
Will figure this all out
There is no hurry

Remember that a phone is not
Real life
And the people on there can sometimes be
Very fake & full of lies

Remember
That your life is not a
Rush
Have fun & be
Free with your
Choices

There is no such thing
As always being
Right
& sometimes being wrong
Is the best path to take
In making your
Fairy wings
Strong 

You do not have to copy anyone Heidi
Because you are so very lovely
Just by being
True to
Yourself

There is only one of you
Don't feel the need to
be a copy of your
Friends or
Them annoying tick-tock girls
You know how much
I hated them

I hope as an Aunty
I showed you that there is
More to life than being stuck as
A home bird
Because darling
No matter who tells you
That "You can't"
Don't listen to them
Instead remember me always telling you that
You can
You can fly
Trust me
I have seen those colourful fairy wings on your back 
& them wild flowers in your hair

I remember
When the lady at the fair
Took your little ten year old hand
In hers
Squinting through her magnifying glass
At the twists and turns of the tiny lines on your delicate palm
She smiled at me and told me
This little girl will travel the world

She said your pinkey finger
Held more determination than
Mine & your mothers combined

& do you know what?
I believe every word
That crazy ginger-haired
Palm reading lady said

Your life is going to be
Magical
I promise
I have told all the
Fairies on the earth & in the skies
& in the galaxies far far away
To make sure of it

& If ever you feel alone
Tip your chin up
& whisper your worries
For the breeze to carry them to me
I will be listening
Then phone a friend & share
That worry with them
Cry if you need to & then
Cuddle into Prince
He will know what to do
He had plenty of practice with me
Dogs always know when someone
They love is
Hurting

Heidi
You asked me once
Late at night
When will you find your best friend
I will give you some advice
Even though I am far from an expert
Best friends will come & go
Some will be kind
Some will be mean
Some will one day feel as if they were
Never real at all
But the most important thing is
That you are kind to yourself
You have to do what is right for
You
This is your life
My little love

So
Stop worrying about your hair
That always tangles
Stop worrying about always posing at the right
Angles

You are your most beautiful when you
Are not watching yourself through a
Filter or screen
You are your most breath-taking
When you are laughing
Crinkled nose & in comfy clothes

I could write to you Heidi
For a lifetime
But I feel I don't have much
Of a life-line

Just know
That I have angels &
Fairy princesses
Queens &
Warriors
Watching over & protecting you

When I'm gone
I give to you my
Crown
Wear it proudly
On top of your
Kind & loving heart
Let it's magic shine through your pretty smile
Take it's power
& use it to help
Others grow fairy wings
So that they may too
Reach always for the
Stars

Then one day
Far from now
When you have a daughter
Or someone very special
Someone who will need this as much
As I did & you did
Someone very worth giving this gift to
Hand them your
Crown
For you will no longer need it
As it's magic will remain within your
Courageous soul
For a lifetime
I promise

So may this be your
Coronation day
My lovely little girl

I crown you
Heidi
The most beautiful
Fairy Queen
There ever will be
On the earth

Use your magic
Kindly &
Wisely
I trust you will

I will love you
Forever & always

Love from,

Aunty Lowy
