There is a world

There is a world in this place

although it seems very small

amid the petals of the pansies

and the leaves that grow so tall

There is a universe of wonder

filled with tiny little souls

flying past the rings of Saturn

that are really chinks of gold

A tiny little bracelet

a vase designed with grace

sitting atop a young one's dresser

delicately covered with handmade lace

Is it glitter, is it sparkles

is it just a pretty beam

dancing moonlight through an open window

entering stealthily on the rays of dreams

If one holds their breath, and listens eagerly

they might hear the flutter of a wing

as a fairy enters their room

following a trail of gossamer and satin string

One by one they eagerly come

into a corner they cluster

creating a community of enchantment

why even an web has new luster

Phlox, Speedwell and Geranium

Bluebell and Forget-me-not

are they names of lovely fairies

or are they flowers in a pot

A world of magic is thriving here

for a little one believes

too young to know that fairies don't exist

except for enthusiasts and their schemes

Beguiled and delighted

right here they plan to stay

and from midnight past till break of day

they'll play and play and play.
