Fairies, fire flies, a shooting star |
Once upon a time.... A long time ago We would lay and gaze up at the night sky Watching and counting the stars And even watch the fire-flies buzz by We were young, we were free We lived in a world A magical one Where fairies would dance under the petals Where the sandman, we were told Would come visit at night and our dreams he would hold Where the tooth fairy would dance on our pillow at night To collect that tooth that was pulled with delight Aaaah the days of innocence, dreams and imagination Follow the end of the rainbow, we were told You are sure to find a pot of gold How eager we were and full of bliss I recalled those days today When I too layed under the night sky And for a moment I closed my eyes Upon seeing a shooting star I made my wish For it has been told, that if you truly believe Hold your breath and you will see Your wish will come true And with that, I opened my eyes I had a smile, upon hearing my little one say "Did the sandman visit you today?" To which I replied, "He sure did" "And is keeping my dreams safe for me tonight" It brought such joy to see his delight As the wind blew a gentle breeze I told my son to catch the air Hold it tight in your hands and place it on your heart For that is fairy kisses saying goodnite With that we layed back down And continued to gaze upon the night sky The simple things we do forget Let life not pass you by Why not lay under the sky? And just for a moment, let things lie I promise to do this more Its most rewarding, to the core Thank you my children Who have helped me remember The true joys in life And when it came to bedtime Promptly all 3 children came to lay A story they wanted A story of yesteryay How easy it was to recall Those memories....without a flore And before I knew it, they were sound asleep 3 kisses I gave for them to keep And a kiss on each heart I gently wispered the words "Never forget, hold tightly on To all the things that we have done Believe in magic, it does exist Never grow old, always stay young For you will see, just as I have What it means to believe." |
