Chapter 28 from Oh, Alice! and a Farewell

*if you are here for my Just Us Girls challenge, please scroll up*

 

CHAPTER 28: (taken from "Child of the Pure Unclouded Brow: preface to "Through the Looking Glass"

hild of the pure unclouded brow 
And dreaming eyes of wonder!
Though time be fleet, and I and thou
Are half a life asunder,
Thy loving smile will surely hail
The love-gift of a fairy-tale.

I have not seen thy sunny face,
Nor heard thy silver laughter;
No thought of me shall find a place
In thy young life's hereafter -
Enough that now thou wilt not fail
To listen to my fairy-tale.

I want to thank the Oh, Alice! team as this is my last challenge with the group.  I have decided to step down from a few of my DT's and sadly decided that Oh, Alice was going to be one of them.  The girls on the group are AWESOME!!!  I will miss being a part of the team, but I will still be following along and playing whenever I can.  A big thank you to the Mad Hatter herself, Jessica, for the opportunity she gave me and all the encouragement.  I look forward to the day we meet in person!
 
Here's your weekly inspiration from the DT:

• Jessica aka MAD HATTER...altho I'm more like Alice :)
• Erin

Thanks again to Paper Pretties for this great prize and for letting the DT play, too!   You have until FRIDAY, September 3rd at 8pm CST to play along this week for the prize!  Winner will be announced next week here on the blog!
