Often I wonder, What thoughts go through my son's mind. Today, I would have given all I own For a glimpse, Of what was inside his head. Last night, He fought away tears, Trying so hard to be brave, As he watched his sisters board a plane On a trip to visit their mother. Today, However, Was his day to smile. For De Lady Elf took my son to the fair. He rode a pony, And a camel, A rollercoaster And a race car. He petted animals, Ate cotton candy, And won a prize. Not once, All day long, Did a smile leave his face. Words cannot describe The happiness I saw today, The memory of his smile will always be with me. Thank you, De Lady Elf. By Odis E.

Reason for writing:
One weekend, when my daughters had flown to see their mother, a good friend, Elf, took my son to the fair so that while his sisters were having their good times, he could have his own. Thank you Elf.
