A Fairy Trail

A memory from a childhood place
Which I remember oh so well;
Between this world and make believe,
The Tooth Fairy, Tinker Bell.

Some things are real to children,
But hidden from the old;
Unless their hearts are filled with love,
Or so my parents told.

Few folks have seen the fairy,
But my mother knew her well;
"Tinker Bell loves tiny children,
Who sleep within her spell".

A little one slumbers, and dreams exist,
In a world outside of man;
In the sky and on the ground,
Enchantment soon began.

A gentle shake of fairy dust,
And a whispered "God bless you";
She gently lifts your pillow,
To place a coin so new.

Tinker Bell charmed us many times,
Each tooth to a place afar;
Sparkled there in Fairyland,
Each one became a star.

I have never seen the fairy,
Surely mother never lied;
Tinker Bell no longer visits us,
Not since my parents died.

But for adults blessed with "sleepy heads",
And belief in things unseen;
Live the dream before it's gone,
Or regret what might have been.

Thank you girls for the kind words.. Much appreciated.

Not sure about the writers club. I am an occasional writer (of poems) and a very occasional reader due to eyesight problems. Best of luck to you all, though.

Happy days

Hello, Harry :-)
