Wandering down the wooded path, br A sparkle 'neath a tree br Captures my attention - br A forest sprite I see; br br Lounging on a lilly pad br Adrift upon a pool, br A tiny fairy suns herself br By waters clear and cool; br br She seems to be asleeping br So still her form does lie, br Yet I detect a whisper br As I quietly pass by; br br 'Come close that I may see you, br For secrets I've to tell' - br She spoke to me so softly br Like the tinkling of a bell; br br 'It's magic that I offer, br I'm equal to the task - br I shall grant you one fine wish, br You've only but to ask'; br br 'Then, I shall ask for wisdom br To help me find the way br To open up my mind and let br My spirit out to play'; br br Then with a tiny giggle br She fluttered all around, br And all the answers came to me br Without a single sound; br br My mind had been awakened br As if by lightning speed, br And with her little magic spell br My spirit had been freed; br br Now to this day I wonder br Just how this came to be, br To come upon a fairy sprite br While walking 'neath the trees br br In some enchanted forest - br That day a spell was cast br My heart was touched by magic - br Forever it will last.
