Faerie to the Child
On yesterday and days to come
Sh'sha comes each night
Her tiny wings a gentle hum
As softly she alights
To a touseled curly top
The cradle faerie creeps
Her magic dust the crying stops
And leads the child to sleep
From a silken sash is hung
A sack of lull-a-bys
And as each soothing song is sung
The toddlers tears she dries
On whispered wings she sweetens dreams
Then peacefully slips out
And leaves on cherub lips it seems
A wistful, blissful pout
On the morning, on the stair
Rubbing sleepy eyes
The child won't know that she was there
So Sh'sha smiles and flies

Thanks for reading and commenting. I'm glad you liked this poem. Didn't mean to invade the sandman's turf... just turned out that way. I think faeries get along with most folks anyway, he probably won't mind a helping hand. -
This is so lovely and nice dear Sam. You're a wonderful writer.
I'm glad that I met you here on AP.
Wish you luck in the contest.

This was really cute,

What a nice and sweet poem Sam. I like it very much just because, it's very hard to explain, maybe just because I like fairies or fairy tales? This verses sound so peaceful and full of promises. Invisible fairy's traces are always somwhere close to us. We just need to open our hearts to see and to listen their wings around.
