The Fairy Children

The Fairy Child was always happy and smiling a lovely smile. She used to wander down to the Magic Woods and sit under the shade of the Old Oak Tree. Here she would listen to the birds and the bees, and talk to the butterflies and the beautiful flowers, wafting in the light summer wind. She would not have to wait long for her little magical Fairy friend to come out and play. The Fairy and herself would spend the whole spring morning talking and laughing under that old Oak Tree like the tree itself was their closest friend and guardian in life. For hours and hours on end they would laugh and play out among the butterflies and the lovely flowers, until the sun began to make long shadows throughout the valley, and it was getting late and time for the little girl to leave her imaginary friend behind for the day, and return home to her grandma’s little home in the woods. So the years went by with herself and her little Fairy having the time of their life. But as the time and the years passed, she grew into a tall young woman, beautiful and sacred to the eye of every beholder. The magic was gone now that she was grown and her little Fairy friend never came out to play anymore. She met a young man and married him shortly thereafter, and the two of them moved far from the magical little valley and grandma’s loving little cottage in the pleasant little woods out in the mountains. Yet, as the years went by and she had children of her own, she would often recall the magical woods and her loving fairy friend. Perhaps one day she would take her little daughters down to the old oak tree and have them meet that magical little sprite themselves. The loving Fairy of her childhood years. The woods, the mountains and the little cobbling stream would still be the same. And with a little luck her little ones would find that magical fairy the same way that she did. Playing under that old oak tree, among the butterflies and the beautiful colorful flowers wafting in the pleasant summer breeze. Little Magical Fairy friends were meant for life and that was for sure. Her heart and soul would always be happy out there. The more things changed, the more they stayed the same.
