Fairy Advice
If fairies flit around your ear
And whisper words, then disappear
Can you say you truly hear
I simply do not know
Their words are soft and oh so sweet
Like candy for your ears; a treat
I hear they make your life complete
With advice as they go
I think a fairy came to me
And whispered words to set me free
I turned my head but could not see
As my heart began to glow
Should I laugh and blush with shame
The fairy seemed to speak your name
She told me I should play your game
And let my feelings show
I want to listen, I truly do
The words she spoke of me and you
She whispered soft of feelings true
Of love that just might grow
So should I take a chance for more
And speak to one that I adore
Stroll hand in hand along a shore
I've been struck by Cupid's bow
Darn fairies.
