Woodland Faeries - Monday's Child #9

See I told you Sally, do you see them there
hiding among the flowers
Shh! they do not know we are here

I told you that I saw them, running through the woods
towards Gram-ma's garden
forest faeries wearing leather slippers and little leather hoods

Where do you think they come from, do you thinks it's far
deep inside the forest
or can it be they just live right here in the garden where we are

Should we run tell Gram-ma that they dance and laugh between the rows
of her red bachelor buttons and pretty daisies white as snow
Or should we keep a secret, Sally
just between you and me - that there are little woodland faeries
in the garden - that only you and I can see...
