Fairies Do Fly

Once upon a time in a desert dry and bare
Lived a little bunny known as a common hare
He loved his mama with her little wiggly nose
And her soft furry ears with tiny little toes

Now he learned to nibble at the grass and the weeds
Sometimes he came across some mighty tasty seeds
Often he would think that there might be something more
If he could leave this desert through some magic door

He dreamed of many things that he had never seen
A radish, a carrot, and lettuce in between
It was just a dream and he knew it after all
Deserts have no hidden doors through some magic wall

Then he saw a cave he had never seen before
Fast he ran to see whether this could be the door 
He hopped inside to find it cool - so cool, oh my!
Sunbeams lit a huge garden 'neath a clear blue sky

The sound of water flowing soothed his eager mind
Fairies flew to and fro with others of their kind
One beckoned with a smile and said, " fear not - come near" 
As he began to hop, he laughed that he was here

He was given a welcome as one who believed
That dreams come true and dreamers need not be deceived
So he ate from the garden and slept by the stream
And learned that things are sometimes truly what they seem

His mama laughed when he told her where he had been
And marveled at the tales that little bunnies spin
Then she took his present and looked inside to see
A radish and a carrot and a black eyed pea

So this bunny in a desert so dry and bare
Changed the way the whole world looked at a common hare
Dreams can change just who we are and the way we live
Fairies fly without doubt and have good things to give
