Sweet Lucy,
I’m Snowdrop, a winter bloom too;
we both started life when the frosty winds blew.
And now I’ve just heard from our red robin friend,
The tooth Lucy wiggled fell out this weekend.
Fear not, a new tooth will sprout up in its place
and I’ve left a gold coin: check inside pillow case.
I shall cherish your tooth as a precious new pearl;
on a silver bell catwalk I’ll give it a twirl.
It’ll go on display for the fair folk to see
at the Musée des Fées in our stately birch tree.
So thank you, dear Lucy, for keeping it clean;
your snowy white crown’s a great fit for our queen.
I sign with a promise: I never will miss
a tooth. That’s my oath; here’s my spellbinding kiss.
Love, Snowdrop xx

Hi Lucy, I’m Snow Drop – a winter’s bloom who
was born, just like you, when the icy winds blew.
I saw your first tooth wobbling like a petal,
it fell with a shock like the sting of a nettle.

to deliver a coin and a note signed with love.

A Poem for Your Tooth (Revision 1)
Hi Lucy, I’m Snow Drop, and I, just like you
was born in the winter when frosty winds blew.
I’ve watched your teeth blossom like snow petal flowers
and tonight, as you slumber through the twilight hours,
I descend on my white feathered wings like a dove
with a keepsake, a poem, I hope you will love.
I shall cherish your tooth like a precious new pearl.
I shall show it off well, I shall give it a twirl
at the milk tooth museum in our sycamore tree.
It’ll be on display for the pixies to see.
So thank you, dear Lucy, for being so keen
when brushing and flossing your teeth sparkling clean.

A Poem for a Tooth (Original)
Dear Lucy Mae, congratulations, today is the day
you lost your first tooth, hip hip hooray!
And tonight as you slumber, so peaceful and deep,
I descend with a treasure you’re welcome to keep:
a coin that I’ve carried in glittering flight
like the swish of a star as it falls in the night.
Hello, my name’s Snowdrop; when frosty winds blew,
I was born in the January cold just like you.
I’ve watched how you’ve blossomed in each brave new year
to the point that you wobbled your tooth without fear;
knowing that growing can sometimes cause pain
but that happy times come just as sun follows rain.
I shall cherish your tooth like a precious new pearl
I shall show it off well, I shall give it a whirl
at the milk tooth museum in the old birchwood tree
it’ll be on display for all fairies to see.
So thank you, dear Lucy, for being so keen
when brushing and flossing your teeth sparkling clean.
