Greatest Magic Act

My child and I were at the big theatre -

And the conjurer so cleverly pulled out 

A small white rabbit rapidly from his hat, 

Looking so surprised it was not a cat;

He made fresh flowers fall from an empty 

Unfolded handkerchief, and a woman within 

A big black box just vanish into thin air and 

Reappear... he juggled colourful pretty plastic 

Balls blindfolded, catching them as they fell, 

Missing not even one, while all said "Well done!"

But the greatest act of magic was not his,

But it was the enthralled and joyous wonder that

I espied in my watching young six-year-old 

Daughter's innocent and guileless bright eyes!
