For all children out there in this world feeling alone & in need of an advocate, friend, & some Fairy Love:
“Fairy Love”
There are fairies in the air today. They run and skip and jump so high. It seems like they can reach the sky. They zoom like tiny lightning bugs And tease the children oh so much.
They picked this horrid place, you see, Because I think they followed me, To sprinkle children as they play On pavement ‘tween the cars astray.
Their father, see, is in the bar And they were left inside the car.
When they notice him emerge, the fairies float away To hover over other kids who need them as they play.
The fairies followed me once more to see me home and safe. And just as I reached my door one flew in my face! She told me of a secret for only me to hear… She told me that they stayed with me and always would appear.
So now I look for children who need some fairy dust To help them grow up softly – for me this is a must.
The parking lot was not so bad as cars pulled in and out. The fairies kept the children safe and all without a shout. I’m grateful on this day to see the children playing oh so freely And fairies soaring high and low over those they love so dearly.”

This early morning, a tear is brought to my chronically dry eyes as I read this. So beautiful.
Oh my.. I hope it was a good kind of tear.
isn’t Lesley just a beaytiful poet. When I read this the very first time I knew it’s home is here. Thankfully Lesley graciously & generously agreed. She gifted this poem to BTH.
I have heard rumours too that a song is on the works. So it delights me that something so beautiful can be inspired by such sadness.
Thanks for your devoted passion ~
It was a very good tear. It was actually on my mind while I did my yoga this morning. ^_^
I would love it if she makes a song. You’re right, she has a beautiful way with words that just plucks at my heart strings like a harp. Just that poem alone made me want to follow her so thank you so much for sharing. ^_^
How awesome it stayed with you. I am not sure if Lesley has nay plans for this poem
The song thatt n=may be in the works for BTH is being done by an actual songwriter. So I confused things in my last comment The poem of Lesley;s is that here, her poem. I do hope she reads your words.
It is so wonderful her words ahve touched you so deeply.
