Disillusionment

I first read these words, penned by a 14 year old school girl and submitted to her school magazine, many years ago, and I have never been able to forget them.

First there was the tooth fairy
And the Easter Bunny.
Then, of course, Santa before I out grew him too.

Is this to be a life process
Of disillusionment in increasing doses?
Because now they tell me there is a God.
