Last night in my dreams
I climbed high up a tree
And I spoke to the fairies
Who live higher than me
Their wings were green
And were brighter than bright
I could see them coming
In the darkness of night
They whispered they’d heard me
Before I could ask
And I couldn’t believe
They knew my wish so fast
And with that they went
Before saying any more
I frowned and felt cheated
Then fell to the floor
“Those fairies are rubbish
They don’t grant wishes
I should have gone to the water
And asked all the fishes”
But as I walked home
Bare foot in the woods
I was stopped by some wolves
Faces shaded by hoods
I screamed to the fairies
“You know that I’m scared
Why send me these wolves
If you really cared”
I froze from the fear
And awaited my fate
I’ll be tasty I’m sure
On their wolf sized plate
But all fell silent
And I opened one eye
The wolves they nodded
And passed me by
I laughed to myself
Oh fairies, you’re wise
You sent me my wish
In a hairy disguise
As to you I had prayed
That I’d live my days
Driven not by fear
But in courageous ways
