She Believed in Magic

Crystal Michelle Fallin

She believed
In magic.  Not
Because she was

Naive, but

Because she

Lived through

Times when

Darkness was

All that she saw,

And all life’s lovely

Things were gone.

But her soul was

Wise enough to

Know that its

Survival depended

Upon maintaining

The memory of love,

Light, hope, and all the

Other things that magic

Is made of.
