The Garden Fairies No One Could See

The Garden Fairies No One Could See

.By Paul McCann

Strange looking plants grew around her garden

She never knew where they came from it was a mystery to her .

She thought maybe the birds had brought seeds from some place

and accidently dropped them around her garden everywhere

Then  early one morning she saw what was going on .

A few fairies were working the garden out there .

At first she thought her mind was gone

Then she thought she was still asleep

But no there they were in the early dawn

Little fairies with little spades planting flowers and trees

and digging holes in places all over her lawn .

So she ran next door to tell her neighbour who came to have a look

but all that was there were little statues of fairies with wings

and lots of wind chimes that hung on tree branches

and some garden gnomes with little green shoes .

There were other ornaments of birds and frogs that sat on logs

beside a green house  full of strange looking plants .

The neighbour wished her a nice day but as soon as she was gone  

the fairy statues came to life and they danced around the lawn

and other fairies came and they had a picnic there

in the garden where no one could see .

The lady of the house remarked

How strange it is that the garden  fairies want no one to see them but me.
