Fairy Gifts and Presents for Birthdays, Christmas and Special Occasions

The Fairy Gift

Theo J. van Joolen ©2011

A present fit for special kings
Providers of our homes and rings
A creature that will honor you
As long as you respect her wings

Let her sit upon your hand
To tell you stories of her land
Share with her some cakes and cream
Or, whiskey if that's her demand

Now you have a spirit-friend
That does the otherworld portend
A window to a magic realm
That kings and subjects must defend

Accept this precious gift with glee
With fairies live in harmony
Protect their homeland everywhere
By a stalwart king's decree!
