Analysis of The Results of True Love
Three little fairy girls
Cute as can be
The triplets Fitzpower
Joy and laughter times three
With the scent of wildflowers
Infused in their hair
And a love of the earth
For things growing they care
Melody is a redhead
And smart as a whip
With eyes like the violets
And a song on her lips
With tresses like midnight
and cobalt blue eyes
Harmony's like an angel
When she smiles Dad just sighs
If you're looking for mischief
In a blonde, green-eyed sprite
Then Rhapsody is the answer
Though she mostly does right
Three bits of magic
Half fairy, half gnome
Six sparkling eyes
To bring warmth to the home
Three rays of sunshine
Bringing laughter and cheer
Three little devils
When bedtime is near
All day in the garden
They run, laugh, and giggle
Then curl up in the porch swing
With barely a wiggle
As Momma sings softly
At the end of the day
Three girls drift to dreamland
All done with their play
Bartholomew and Amethyst
and three blessings retire
To sweet dreams of love
By a warm crackling fire
