from the book Fairies of the Seasons
Thank You Angel Bug for making the background
If ever was reason for faeries to sing
It must be the coming of sweet-scented Spring
For as the snow melts andwind loses its chills
Spring Faeries knwo soon they will frolic at will
Among lilies and daisies andpansies galore
Bright with delight of the joy that's in store
As cool spring rains, with warm spring sun
Say the frost and the snow and the cold are now done
The tinkle of wind chimes will hide the soft sound
Of fleet faery feet  scampering over the ground
Preparing frsh buds in their garden for spring
As they cry out with joy, Let sun and fun ring !
Daisy Fairy, so pristine
Whose eyes are first to greet the day
Can ger arrival on the scene
mean sping has come and means to stay?
The picture of true innocence
As she arrives upon the earth
Daisy Fairy represents
Springs arrival and rebirth
In the silver splendor
Of the full moon of spring
listen closely to hear
Lily of the Valley ring
If,in your heart, you believe
The stories fairies tell
Then lily fairy will allow you
To hear the chimes of lily bells
If your eyes are quick
And the light is just right
You may see the dandelion fairy
AS she takes flight
Then blow her flower seeds
If they come come back in your eyes
Expect important news
Or a wonderful suprise !
Golden as the morning sun
Playful as a gusty breeze
Buttercup fairy finds her fun
In healing human hearts with ease
Willful and whimsy
She is cheerful and quite charming
Done be fooled that her bud is flimsy
For her bloom's bueaty is disarming
