Fairies and Elves

I reached into my pocket And pulled out a tiny pin On the top there danced a fairy And this is what she said: I will help you in the bad times And make sure you have good health, I was taught so very much In the forest with the elves. Remember when you believed in me When you were oh so small, Have you forgotten your childish dreams Did you forget them all? I could be inside your pocket Or maybe in a shoe, I can take up residence Any where you choose. If you cannot find me Search within your heart, Remember all those fairy tales When your life began it's start. Why did you quit believing In the fairies and the elves? When did you stop listening To the child within yourself........ Lynn Barany

Ps. Wearing bad glasses today. and the first time I saw the title I thought it said, Fairies and Elvis. And then when I saw you last name, I thought for a second it said Blarney, like the Blarney stone. That would have gone nicely with your fairy theme!! And if you happened to be from Ireland!!

gosh, I wish I could find a fairy that would say those words to me. I'd ask her to help me know what was wrong with me lately? (no health insurance so I am waiting for hubbie to finally get us some and then I'll see a dr!) This was sweet as could be. Andrea
