The Magician's Pocket

The Magician’s Pocket

Magic that is lint-covered
Unearthed at memorable times
Revealed to a tiny discoverer
In the form of candy and dimes

Trivial and worthless by standards
Different when seen in innocent eyes
The magic coins and Lifesavers
From a magician so full of surprise

Though the visage has lost it’s sheen
It matters not to the young audience
For they adore the magic king or queen
Rewarding them with sweets and tuppence.

The magician knows magic is nothing
Compared to eyes that are amazed
Glad for the chance to be something
To someone who brightened their last days
