Tink's Neverlast Stand
A fairy came into my room
From the sundrenched yard
It was Tink, familiar friend
Whose spirit is die hard!
See how proudly she does stand
With feisty, firm demeanor
Such beautiful intensity
More than I’ve ever seen her
She’s tells me I should stand my ground
With confidence speak out
For my opinion’s worthy
If honest and devout
If I’m feeling timid
Or hiding that I’m wise
She pinches me behind my ear
And opens up my eyes
She warns that I must not give up
Or hang my head in shame
I happily will sing her song
And proudly stake my claim!
For I have been around the block
And learned a thing, or two
My experiences are solid
So I can speak to you!
I won’t dribble from my mouth
Opinions without thought
But if I see a better way
I’ll speak like I ought
You will not intimidate
And ask me how I dare
To put my mind on record
I speak because I care
Tink is by me through the day
With her I’ve made a pact
We make a very steadfast team!
And are not afraid to act!
Determined, happy little sprite
Let’s have some fun today
I’ll unsheathe my sword and pen
I have something bright to say!
