Night Visitors

The midnight hour is upon me and the moon and stars are shining so bright. 
As I awakened I arose and looked out my window. Below dancing on my lawn 
were a dozen or so fairies. I watched them as their wings began to flitter and 
their legs came off the ground.

Up to my window they flew, oh so beautiful each and everyone of them were.
They ask if I would like to come out and visit with them. I answered oh yes please 
I will be right out. They told me to hold on I could fly down with them. I have no 
wings  I can not fly I said.

Oh yes you can just close your eyes and come along with us. I did as they said 
and the next thing I knew I was flying through the sky along with them. 
We flew down upon the lawn and for a long while we sang and we danced with such 
delight.

Then they told me I must return to my bed for I needed my rest. So again I was told
to close my eyes and come along with them. And once again the next thing I knew I 
was back in my room. They promised to come again another night and we would 
sing and dance together once more.

I told my mother the next morning and she said my dear you had a visit from the 
fairyland night visitors what a wonderful time I know you had. You see she said they
visited me also when I was about your age and visited for years. I am so happy to know 
I will again be visited by my fairyland night visitors.

"All I have to do is look into my shining ball of make believe"
