She Never Believed

In this magical forest, in every enchanted tree, There lived odd creatures that are so rare to see, White unicorns and tiny fairies with glowing wings, Huge, green dragons and a mermaid who sings, So many stories this curious, little girl had heard, Though, she did not believe in a single word. She moved the long grass and peered through, To find a babbling brook with waters of blue, Her eyes grew wide and she could not speak, When she saw what was floating along the creek, A tiny, glowing fairy was sitting upon a daisy, Who was gazing at the sky and feeling quite lazy. The sprite was frightened by this sweet, little girl, Who was curiously twisting a little, blonde curl, The fairy jumped up from the daisy and into flight, The innocent, little girl had meant her no fright, She watched with wonder as she flew away, And wanted to catch her and ask her to stay. All of a sudden this girl began to slowly shrink, In her little mind she had no idea what to think, When a giant butterfly had just landed at her side, She quickly grabbed onto it's wings to go for a ride, She could tell this sprite stories she had never heard, And wondered if she would believe in a single word.
