Fairy Godmother's Downhill Prayer

Wind, please lift this life aloft,
like a leaf that may gently waft 
on a long journey in the sun, 
sailing, twirling, having fun - 
before it lands, light and soft. 

Sky, don't let clouds obscure
this soul like seed with kernel pure
Give it a hundred years.
Drop a modicum of tears,
so it may grow safe and secure.

Wind and sky you must concede
a fairy godmother has her needs,
and I always get my way,
So, here's what I want today:
spinach salad with sunflower seeds.
