Faeries

Faeries

Mummy, are there really faeries? 
Are the stories really true?
Do the wee folk really live
alongside me and you? 

Mummy, do they really flutter
from Buttercup to Daisy?
In the early morning light
silent, still and hazy.

Do they make their homes in toadstools? 
If we look close will we see
a little faerie family 
all sitting down to tea? 

Are their friends the birds and insects
like wrens, butterflies and bees?
Do they all play hide and seek 
among the green leafed trees?

Mummy, have you ever seen one? 
Have you heard their tinkling song? 
Do you think I might see one?
I hope it won't be long!

I think your thoughtful questions
tell you all you need to hear, 
where imaginations flourish
faeries will flutter near.
