The Fairy Of Light Poem by Denis Martindale

Some say that fairies don't exist!
Yet children know they do!
That's why their legends still persist,
Perhaps you've heard them, too!

If not, then listen to the tale,
Of one sweet fairy girl
With hair of gold yet skin so pale
Her face looked like a pearl...

Near to the Palace, there she danced
And then her wings took flight...
A Prince who saw her watched entranced,
'Well done, Fairy of Light! '

And though quite shy, she had to smile,
For compliments were rare
And when she landed in a while,
She waited for him there...

And pretty soon love cast its spell,
Romance was utter bliss,
Such that before they said farewell
They shared a tender kiss!

Her wings fell off, her magic gone!
For she was mortal now,
Yet still they kissed and carried on,
Oblivious somehow...

The Prince felt sorry, held her hand
And then caressed her cheek
And tried to make her understand
That she was still unique...

And so they wed and danced each night,
In love for all to see,
The Prince and the Fairy of Light,
In perfect harmony...
