The Fairies ~

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!
They often have a dance on summer nights;
The butterflies and bees make a lovely little breeze,
And the rabbits stand about and hold the lights.
Did you know that they could sit upon the moonbeams
And pick a little star to make a fan,
And dance away up there in the middle of the air?
Well, they can.

~ by Rose Fyleman, British poet best known for her fairy stories (1877 - 1957)

"There are fairies at the bottom of our garden."
Note:  Our friend, Sharon Jackson, gave us the Garden-Boy Reading a Book.  She also introduced us to this beautiful poem, The Fairies.  A long time ago, Sharon  painted a sign for the garden bearing the first line, "There are fairies at the bottom of our garden."  Thank you, Sharon.
