Childhood. 
When fairies are real and all you need to find joy and magic and belief is a silver penny. 
Grace for Light.


My soul goes clad in gorgeous things,
Scarlet and gold and blue,
And a here shoulder sudden wings
Like long flames flicker through.

And she is swallow-fleet, and free
From mortal bonds and bars.
She laughs, because Eternity
Blossoms for her with stars!

~Fannie Stearns Davis from Silver Pennies by Blanche Jennings Thompson
