Godmothers aren't fairies in a tale, Offering a world that cannot be. Demand of them glass slippers and they fail, More likely to do favors naturally. On them you can depend for a relation: They offer gifts and guidance with a kiss. Having taken on the obligation, Each freely out of love gives what she is. Real godmothers have no wands or wings, So they must work with wisdom, love, and things.
