Quinnland

Their world began when She turned two

From imagination Quinnland grew

A seed of wonder planted deep

Would come alive when the girl would sleep

And every morning she'd look real hard

For the fairies and creatures in her yard

That danced and played the night before

But come sun-up they were no more

"Mommy, Mommy, help me find

The fairies and creatures in my mind

I see them when I go to sleep

But when I wake they hide and seek"

"Oh, darling Quinn, you're on your own

For fairies don't come to those who've grown

They only appear to a special few

So be grateful, dear, that girl is you"

So Quinn began to sit and wait

For the fairies to show up at her gate

She'd lay her head and pretend to sleep

But open her eyes to take a peek

Eventually she'd drift away

To a land where her fairies would come and play

They'd dance and sing and carry on

But when she'd wake they'd all be gone

"Mommy, Mommy, help me please

My fairies come and go, they tease!

We have such fun, we dance and play

But when I wake they go away"

"Oh, darling Quinn, I can't help you

For fairies are magic, I thought you knew

They appear to children who open their mind

If you look real hard, a fairy you'll find"

So Quinn set out the very next day

To find her fairies so they could play

She wandered around her own backyard

She looked, and searched, but it was hard!

Then all of a sudden the backyard grew

Turned into a forest, and then Quinn knew

Her mind was open, the magic was real

And this mystical land had a special feel

"Mommy, Mommy, come and see

The fairies are real, they're in the trees

I opened my mind just like you said

I can see them now, not just in bed"

"Oh, darling Quinn, I'm glad you know

About the magic so it can grow

Imagination is a powerful thing

Its magic can create most anything"

From this point on, Quinn's land grew

With daily discoveries of something new

A secret cave, a magic sky

A golden tree, and dogs that fly

Spider webs that you can eat

Mossy grounds that tickle the feet

She'd find her way back everyday

To Quinnland where she'd happily play

"Mommy, Mommy, come with me

To meet my magic family

We'll dance and play and have such fun

And come home safely when we're done"

"Oh, darling Quinn, that's really sweet

To offer me your friends to meet

But as I've told you once before

These magic friends are only yours"

Sad that Mommy wouldn't play

And couldn't see Quinnland anyway

Quinn went off to be alone

To the magic forest that she'd grown

Her creature friends flocked to her side

With such excitement and such pride

For Quinn was their Queen and they wanted to see

Their little queen play happily

"Quinny, Quinny!" they all cried

"We've found you something, look inside

Beyond the ferns and golden tree

There's something that you've got to see"

"My darling friends, that's sweet of you

To cheer me up when I am blue

I love surprises, as you know

So, show me where I need to go"

One by one they fell in line

With their Queen in tow behind

Past the ferns and golden tree

Beyond the cave...then finally!

Quinn could see and shook with joy

Their big surprise...it was a boy!

"My name is Vinny" he declared

The mysterious boy looked brave, not scared

"Vinny? Quinny, that's my name!

We're like twins, one in the same!

Come explore my magic land

We'll have adventures, take my hand!"

"Oh, darling Quinn, this land is mine

But you can join me, that's just fine

Vinnland is a place for fun

We like to play with everyone"

So Vinny and Quinny joined their hands

They joined their minds, they joined their lands

Their two adventures now were one

With an endlessness for future fun.
