I know a secret garden sheltered by a warm stonewall
birds brightly chirping, you can hear their call.
Adorned with colourful flowers, a duck pond
a few old trees and many a fern frond
It’s busy with bees and butterflies in the day
but we all know that when the big people go
dainty ethereal fairies come out to play
their skirts and wings shimmer and flow!
They bring children such joy
as they laugh, sing and fly
far more interactive than any toy
prancing, dancing and flying high!
They sprinkle glitter, laughter and a glow
giving the kids a really great show!
Big people have no idea
these fairies dispel all fear.
No need for rules,
IPhones or tools
Magic and delight pleases us all
encircled by this warm stonewall!
Inspired by Emma’s exquisite fairy drawings! 16.8.16
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and as you head out to celebrate
please remember to be safe so that you can enjoy the rest of the year …
may all your worthy wishes be fulfilled!
I have a neighbor who has created a special little fairy garden for her grandchildren.
One has to go half way up the drive and around the bushes to see all these cute little scenarios.
One can just imagine real fairies having a delight there too. π

I’m guessing dollhouse type furnishings are popular in such gardens or make your own out of bottle caps and such π

I can see children enchanted by the visualization this piece creates. Sometimes I wish adults could re-learn their childhood innocence in order to enjoy life’s intangible gifts.
