Whenever it got tough on the outside

An always ajar door on the inside

Would invite her further in

Here was Peter Pan, Cinderella, Huckleberry Finn

Unicorns, dragons, fairies and goblins

Whenever it got tough on the outside

There was a world to escape to inside

She would relive legends she had heard

Imagine others through the written word

Writing stories, poems, letting her imagination wander

Whenever it got tough on the outside

She could switch off and retreat inside

“Always daydreaming” her teachers would say

No-one understood she was made this way

A protection mechanism that proved so right

Imagination … an asset for the rest of her life
