The Fairy Garden

I know a place 

where there is a garden

and in the garden there are fragrant  

brightly colored flowers

A white picket fence surrounds the garden

and in the middle of the fence

there is a white picket arched arbor,

and beneath the picket arch

 there is a pathway of brightly colored stones

leading into the garden.

And at the end of the colored stone path,

there sits a pretty little fairy tale-style cottage

with a blue roof and blue chimney.

They say a fairy lives in the 

pretty little fairy tale cottage 

tucked deep in the garden 

amongst the flowers and ferns.

They say she has golden hair

and wings the color of dew.

They say she loves to sit in the cottage garden 

and watch butterflies

 while she dreams the day away

Sometimes when she dreams too long,

you can see her if you tiptoe quietly

not to disturb her,

and peek through the picket arch.

She takes a long moment

to enjoy the warmth of the sun

seated on her white picket garden bench.

I hope you've enjoyed the tour

of my little fairy garden

which I created 

and donated

to a silent auction fundraiser.

Warm Hugs,
