"Destined Minds"

Father and daughter

Dad rested his back into the sofa weary from working in the garden
his little girl climbs into his lap and grants him three wishes

Dad clearly amused by the little girl dressed in pink holding the
wand he so diligently fixed wishing he didn't have to wash dishes

she raises the wand high above his head
and lets it fall heavily nearly killing him dead

for dad had forgotton the star he had afixed
was to a steel rod and not a small stick

aghast at the pain and lump he now wore
opened his mouth and nearly swore

but he looked at his little girl with eyes so bright
and realised she had no idea she'd given him a painful fright

so he hugged her warmly and got up from his chair
and thanked the pink fairy trying not to glare
