Fairies Work At Night.

 Fairies work at night,
When everyone's asleep.
They use their magic to
Paint the world, a masterpiece.

Roses red, streams berry blue.
Meadows, a variety of luxurious
Shades of green.

Some fairies work overtime,
Until the early hours of morning light.
They disguise themselves at butterflies,
Their colourful wings a sight for sore
Eyes.

Fairies work at night,
When no one is around.
They tidy up after us,
By picking all our litter
Off of the ground.

So when you step outside
The following day, the environment is
Safe and sound.

They hide under wild mushrooms,
Or large tree leaves.
Their ideal hiding place is,
Somewhere where they can not
Be easily seen.

When they are ready, they jump.
Their wings picking up on air currents,
blowing along gracefully on the breeze.

Fairies make it rain when
Plants are thirsty,
So that they can continue to grow.

So love and take time to admire
The world around you, because while
Fairies are very rarely seen, their
Hard work shows.
To not appreciate it, is just plain
Mean.

The Fairy Queen's crown jewels,
Are made of children's' teeth from
Around the world.

From the toughest boy, to the
Daintiest girl.
Good brushing makes them sparkle,
Whiter than any pearl.

She slips a coin under your pillow,
Her own little way of saying,
"Thank you for your donation,
May you have good dreams."

Did you know that if you see a rainbow,
It's a fairy hurrying on their way?
To find shelter and get to sleep,
During the sunniest hours.

Because it is very important for
Them to rest, so that they can recharge
Their magical powers.

Fairies work at night,
Finally you see.
Almost invisible to the naked eye,
A true friend to you and me.
