Fairies

These delicate creatures are small

They come in many shapes and sizes

They could be as small as a bug, or as big as a person

With wings so shiny they seem to glow

And skin the texture of fine silk

Happy is always their emotion

Always willing to help

Yet they very rarely get asked

When they do they hardly get thanked

They can be sitting next to you

Or they may be that person you never thanked

All they ask is for you to be happy

All they need is two words

Mother

She is the one who is always there

The one who will love you no matter what

She is the one who gave you life

She will always be beautiful to you

The one who applauds you when you’ve done good

And a sympathetic shoulder when you’ve done bad

She knows all your stories and when to tell them

This lady is one of your best friends

And always knows best

She is full of knowledge if you just ask

The one who packed your lunch for years

Who cried at your graduation,

And the day you get your own place

She is and always will be your mother

All this and much more gotten without a degree

She is and always will be MOM

Old Friends

A sudden Calmness falls over the land

She has come yet again

The wind starts to howl,

The darkness falls cold over the old barn

It's only friend a tree half gone,

Her last fight had taken its toll here.

She wraps her whirling fingers

Around the branches and leave

In Pain the tree Creaks and cracks

Swaying to and fro.

The clouds run fast in fear

As do I, to find some safety

From the cold harsh world

I find comfort in the old barn

The inside howled much like the out

But I was safe, for now

Fool I thought, as I sat in the barn

Only a fool would try to stand against her

The wind blew by quickly over the land

Soon she was gone again

Leaving the Old Friends in peace
