The Magic Little Elf

Once upon a time by a river wide Lived a little elf with a magic stick No one else used it - it stayed by his side - He could bring rain and he could cure the sick His powers were well known throughout the land Creatures great and small called him by his name They knew only good came from the elf's hand And so the forest prospered with his fame And then one day a very bad man came To the forest to see it all himself His plans were evil and he was to blame For kidnapping the famous little elf He would use the magic stick for riches And he would leave the forest bare and cold It would then be home to hags and witches And the creatures would have no home to hold But a little sparrow had seen the elf As he was kidnapped and taken away And so he took the task upon himself To alert all the creatures come what may First was the eagle with the golden eye He soared aloft and found the evil man He circled wide to mark the spot up high The creatures saw and to the spot they ran There were bears, wolves and creatures with sharp eyes That chased the man and freed the little elf And rid the woods of bad men and their lies The elf shed tears and couldn't help himself He reached up high and waved his magic stick And signalled for the group to gather near Ice cream appeared and chocolate so thick And so the woods were rid again of fear He's older now down by the river deep But he still tends to creatures as they need He knows that peace and love will always keep Him safe from some man's foul and evil deed 2/17/2017 For Contest Fairy Tale For Children
