WOW
Great story! At first I liked the mixing in of the poem with her thoughts, but you promised a twist and delivered on it!
Had I ever had kids, I was going to help them fight monsters under the bed by giving them a "magic sword" ( a toy sword) that would kill monsters; giving them a tool to add to their bravery. This story put that into my head.
Well done
Thanks Steve :)
I'm glad you like the story, it's one of my favourites :)
My kids always liked me sing 'When A Knight Won His Spurs' at bedtime.
When a knight won his spurs, in the stories of old,
He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold
With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand,
For God and for valour he rode through the land.
No charger have I, and no sword by my side,
Yet still to adventure and battle I ride,
Though back into storyland giants have fled,
And the knights are no more and the dragons are dead.
Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed
'Gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed;
And let me set free with the sword of my youth,
From the castle of darkness, the power of the truth.
That's the one!
Our granddaughter loves the song now, too :)
