The Wishing Pool  

One day while I was wandering
Within a wooded glen
I came upon a pool of water.
Like no other pool
I had ever seen before

Shimmering like the morning dew
Beneath the summer's gold.

The pool was so inviting
I got down on my knees.
And what I saw was so amazing
I just had to rub my eyes.
To make sure I saw

What I did see.
What I saw was so amazing
It was not just any dream.
But more...A Fairy's paradise
Waiting to be seen.

I saw a band of fairies fluttering to
And fluttering fro.
Among the sweetest smelling flowers
My senses ever smelled.

The sounds that they were making
Were so pleasing to my ear.
They were sending messages of love
For only me to hear.

They told me I could make three wishes
Upon their wishing pool.

Now I pondered for a while...
Of what my wishes might be.

But...

I really couldn't think of anything
I really wanted for just me.
So this is what I said to them instead...

If I could make three wishes
Upon the wishing pool
I would wish for my friends
A life without worry
A life without pain.

I would wish for my friends
A life full of happiness
And filled with love.

And the third and final wish
I told them just for you my friend
If the fairies would allow
Would be that life treats you well
And all of your
Wishes and dreams come true.

The Children of Nature

"The children of nature, of Pan's own song,
Here, then there, then thou art gone.
Each breath of air or ray of light,
Each flowering herb and dew of night.
Hidden round all visible things
A fairy spirit beauty brings,
The rain, the snow, the windy field,
The hue and scent the rose doth yield.
All nature is the fairies art,
Only seen by those of purest heart.

Fairy Book

In summer when the grass is thick
if mother has the time
She shows me with her pencil how
a poet makes a rhyme
And often she is sweet enough
to choose a leafy nook
Where i cuddle up so closely
when she reads the Fairy Book!

In winter when the corns asleep
and birds are not in song
And crocuses and violets have
been away too long
Dear mother puts her thimble by
in answer to my look
And i cuddle up so closely when
she reads the Fairy Book!
