Wish fairy



pixie dust and fairy wings,
this is what a birthday brings.
Smiles so wide
with grins to match;
tickle me so it will last.

In days to come
magic powers may fade
a bundle of shoulds
strapped across back blades.

but tinkle the light
and twinkle the stars
for far and near
a bigger power
doth lies

The little people
are alive and well
just waiting for you
to fall under their spell.

Whisper in the darkness,
murmur in the glade
believers open eyes to see
their heart's wish already made.
