The Tale of Fairy Good
Hi Everybody!
Today I am sharing a fairy-tale poem written quite a few years back and made into a book. This time I have just used the poem and made a new hybrid journal page for it. Okay, fairies. Some of us never grow up! And sorry, no bla-bla today, I am just exhausted
I have written the text here a bit larger in case you can't read it:
The tale of Fairy Kindness Good
Once upon a time in an ancient wood
Lived a little Fairy called Kindness Good.
Her home was hid in a magical glade
Of majestic trees where no human strayed;
Where no ill could happen nor sickness destroy
Her Life made of laughter and sweetness and joy.
A unicorn regal, with shimmering horn
Would graze there each night from dusk till dawn.
At the sun’s first rays he lay down to sleep
While Fairy Good over him watch did keep.
She ate from sweet nectar she found in the flowers,
And drank from a spring with magical powers.
Her clothes were woven from gossamer fine,
Her wings like butterflies golden did shine.
She hasn’t been seen now for hundreds of years,
But fairies don’t die, so please have no fears.
And if at dusk you see a glimmer
Of golden dust or diamond shimmer,
It could be our beautiful Fairy Good,
So take care and quietly leave the wood.
Some thinkies / Funnies:
Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
