Fairy Dreams
by
Barbara Everidge Tillison
For My
Daughter Sierra
Hush my darling, for you are safe and snug in
your bed,
Let all those bad thoughts flow far away from your
head.
Alas, my sleepy child the time has come once again
it seems,
For you to enter the magical land of the fairy
dreams.
Shhhh now, and you can see them so sparkling and
bright,
As they are laughing and playing in the pale
moonlight.
In the dewy flowers there are pink and purple
giggling girls,
Who are jumping and skipping each with long
bouncing curls.
In the meadow shining yellow fairies fly on flower
swings,
While little blue and violet boys float by on
butterfly wings.
They live in the tall grass with large mushrooms
for roofs,
And ride on beautiful white winged horses with tiny
hoofs.
A shimmering waterfall is nearby and a pond full of
fish,
Oh, to live in such a wonderful beautiful world is
my wish.
Quiet now as the little fairies draw near to the
ground,
It is time for them to come together and to settle
down.
Watch my love, as the fairies gather down by the
stream
Listen as they sing, Oh isn't this a wonderful
fairy dream!
I tell you this story as it was told to me by a
friend,
As long as we pass it on the fairy dream will never
end.
