Oh what was that?
A sigh of the wind, no couldn’t be.
Sounds too much like a child’s laughter.
What was that?
A glittery wing, to big to be butterflies.
Too small to be a bird.
Ouch! A tug at my hair.
Sparkles left behind! No, just pollen.
Another laugh, this one sounds closer.
I spy little orbs of light dancing in the meadow.
They giggle and fly away.
One asks me to play. We laughed and said “just believe and you can find us.”
I grew older and it passed from my memory.
And as adults we don’t believe in fairies. But one summer’s day a breeze brought to my ears a sound a giggle.
A giggle that I had heard before.
I saw them playing with a little girl.
Then I knew that she would grow old and forget.
And this would go on forever, but I still believe.
That one giggle made me believe.
Do you believe?

nice writing
I think that the writing is really awesome. The quality is great! However, the idea is a bit old...the whole thing about playing with faries and then growing to old to remember.
Great write though!
P.S. i'm the person the sits next to you in chorus...
