FAIRYS ANGEL

With autumn leaves falling near the earth
Plumbed down to the faires first
Eyes of golden reds and greens
The angels smiled, "Do you know what it means?" 

Then mother earth smiled to her sister trees, 
Will you hold the babies please?
The falling little leaves of eloquent sheen 
Fell softly in between the tucked sheets so nice
The motherly trees all coverts with delights

The guiding faires with iridescent lights
Brightened up the spots so nice
The majestic trees, with motherly sight, 
Open their arms so wide
Felt the little hearts tucked inside deep

The angels sleep till children's day
To see their paths along life's way
If you the inner child look clear to the sky
You will see faires fly by
