William Butler Yeats--"The land of fairy, where nobody gets old and godly and grave, where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue."

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

That is so lovely Harry.

Happy days.

Harry, do you fancy joining the writers group by any chance ? ( lol I am always on the alert for new members ;))

We are a very nice bunch ! ( well the others are anyway lol)

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.
