A queen who died with a smile?
What faeries will follow
Dakota's path through life?
Whose caring guidance will ease her
through the maze of paper and
nonsense?
Who will take her fragile hand
and lead her through the enchanted
forest that lays in wait, outside
the walls herein?
She will have a hundred guardian sprites
to carry the train of her designer garb
down the runway of life,
because she will always be
The queen who died with a smile.
