A little cottage in a forest

There was a small cottage in the middle of a forest, with cherry blossoms out front. A brown thatch roof on four white walls with vines of lavender around the windows. A white pebble path leads to a river where the fish and frogs play beneath the shade of trees and the birds are singing a girl to sleep. 1

The little girls name is Chelsea with hair of bronze and skin of copper she lies with her eyes closed tight dreaming of other worlds. Her black shorts and buttoned blue top end in feet covered with dirt from playing. Her body is resting will her mind dances across stars and planets of purple, red and white. 2

A woman heavy with the travels of time walks out from the cottage and calls out for the young girl. "Chelsea dear its time for lunch, we're having tomato, cheese and ham" She calls out with a voice of wisdom and warmth. Then she turns her heels and walks back in to the cottage smelling of sweet pumpkin pie. 3

Chelsea wakes from her dreams and opens eyes full of stars surrounded by grey. She picks up her leather sandals and follows the call of her grandmother turning only to wave good bye to the animals and plants. Up the path she runs the pebbles shaking loose as her feet shed their dirt and reveal pink painted toe nails. 4

Around a table of wood they sit and eat their lunch, surrounded by walls of wood and plates. A kitchen small and cosy contains the scent of baking while the smell drifts through the lounge room with overstuffed seats and soft warm rugs. Chelsea and her grandmother ate from china plates while talking of happy times and many more to come. 5

Soon the sun is setting and the full moon starts to shine silver light upon the pillow of a little girl who brushes her teeth. Chelsea climbs into her bed and under soft warm covers while her head rests on a feather pillow. Her grandmother comes in the Purple painted room and takes a book from a shelf, reading to her granddaughter and she started with 6
