Analysis of a fairy
I once knew a fairy
That lived in the woods
She would come around
When ever she could
Just to sit and talk
Have a nice cup of tea
She was always nice
When ever she came to see me
And then one day
She didn't come by
I worried for her
Because I didn't know why
A few days came and went
I had to look for her
I searched for many hours
Causing quit a stir
Than all of a sudden
As I rounded the bend
A thousand lights did appear
And I had found my friend
She was laying on a leaf
Holding in her arms
A very little angel
So I'll cause her no harm
But as I turned around to leave
She called out my name
Come sit next to me
I am glad you came
