Day 169 - One for sorrow, two for joy...


...three for a girl,  
my little girl in this case...



My little magpie
loves sparkly, twinkly things,
keeps them in a secret place,
beads and coins and rings.

My little magpie,
always very quick:
sees a penny, picks it up,
doesn't miss a trick.

My little magpie,
sharp and bold and clever:
knows just when I need a smile,
shines bright as any treasure.
