I BELIEVE IN FAIRIES




I have no doubts of Fairy Queens

who reign amongst the woodland greens

and hold court beneath lilac blooms

and weave dreams on gossamer looms---

of Fairy Maids, with silken wings,

fluttering over crystal springs,

pirouetting with lightning bugs

and blest by chastely elfin hugs.

I have no doubts, for I have seen,

through childhood eyes, the magic scene!
