HuNtiNG fAErieS

I must put away my child
today

The little ones are coming
They'll want to play

There will be no time for
indulgence
Or for reflection or angst
I must put away my child
today
Put the bottles in the trash
I must blow bubbles, hunt
faeries, make merry, sing,
dance  

I must put away my child
today
Betray her with a smile
This child who has been with
me
Every step and life long mile

I must put on red lipstick
Paint her away
I must not let her ruin this rare
nana day

They arrive, run squealing up
the path
I plant red kisses on each soft
cheek
Thank god for this blessing
These small tiny feet

There is no time for
indulgence
Or reflection or angst
I blow bubbles...make merry
As I take out the trash

I just want you to know
you aint the only one 
I hunt faeries truly I do too ..

Dunno why these words have not caught more sunlight ..
I hope the spark I leave behind burns bright & draws attention to them ... 
Your mate, Neville :) x
