A Magical Awakening

A Magical Awakening

They woke from their winter sleep,

Little fairies who were roused by the bluebird’s cheeps,

They washed their sparkling wings in the fresh, springtime dew,

Then drew a huge breath to admire the view,

Around them as far as the eye could see,

Bluebells stood proudly, so they could feed the bees.

The fairies drunk on their long, long rest,

Started singing sweetly, at the flowers request,

Their voices harmonized, without a flaw,

The animals of the forest froze like statues, completely in awe!

Springtime had arrived at the fairies’ delight,

So, when the dew had dried off their wings that slowly 

unfurled,

They would take off to magical places, all around the world,

To make tiny wishes true for every little boy and girl.

A Fairy Is Born

Blow the bubbles, 

And look carefully 

Can you see 

The delicate wing of a little fairy ?

For every time a bubble is created 

The mummy fairies giggle,all excited 

Cos they have waited and waited, 

For the magical soapy bubbles to be sighted !

Look at the bubbles can't you see 

The birthing of a tiny fairy 

      The rainbow colours dancing in the light 

Are the tiny wings of a little sprite!

So blowing bubbles isn't just for fun 

It's the start of a fairies life 

 That's only just begun 

So blow your bubbles and you will see 

The tiny delicate wings, 

Of a brand new fairy!

A Fairy Tale (Childs Lit )

A Fairy Tale 

Margaret Bednar

Marshmallow clouds in a vanilla sky 

Surround a sugar castle

The colour of cherry pie 

At it's door there stands proud, 

Unicorns who have vowed 

To protect the fairies

Who come to play 

With the buzzing bees

That dance and buzz all day. 

Within the pink sugar castle. 

A princess excitedly awaits 

Her prince charming 

To arrive for their dinner date 

Where  penguins on skates 

Serve their meal off ice crystal plates

The skinny little crickets will play their wings 

Making summer music 

While love birds chirp along and sing.

Prince charming will kneel 

Take his Princess by her delicate hand, 

He'll ask her then to be Queen in this wonderful fairy land 

The buzzing bees and fairies will dance 

While those magical unicorns will daintily prance 

In the garden of their sugar candy castle 

Found in the fluffy marshmallow clouds

Where only very, very, happy fairy tales are allowed !

Grandads Knee

Grandads Knee

My granddaddy always said to me 

You wait until your thirty three 

You'll have some little'uns of your own

Your little princess or prince will sit upon this throne, 

This throne that's reserved just for you

Till childhood fairyland bids adieu.                                                      

So upon his knee I'd clumsily scramble,

Listening to his stories and rambles, 

His stories were off  far of lands, 

Of fairy queens, her kingdom and commands, 

The only wish he had for me 

Was I be as happy as happy as I could be.

On his throne that was his knee,

My childhood was like a fantasy, 

No seat ever has replaced that spot

That I'd climb upon as a tiny, tiny, tot 

Perhaps if grandaddies knees  were the law 

I'd still see my fantasy lands of wonder and awe

WHY ?

 WHY ?

Mummy why can't I plant my tree 

Where my Prince Charming 

Will Marry me 

WHY ?

Mummy why can't I Plant my tree

Where all the magic fairies dance

To the buzzing of the  honey bees 

WHY?

Mummy why can't I plant my tree

In a land of green 

Where everyone is free                                

WHY ?                                                                                                             

Mummy why can't I plant my tree

Where purple dragons roam and snore 

They'd be so gentle no-one would flee 

WHY ?

Mummy I want to plant my tree

With Daddys spade 

In my red welly boots 

 Just you and me!
