My Garden Fairy
There is a fairy in my garden that only I can see.
Friends think that I am mistaken and its just a hummingbird or a bee.
But I know its a fairy, I can hear the flapping of her wings.
I have found tiny bites out of my berries and a few other things.
How do the tiny stepping stones to the fairy house get flipped around?
What happened to the cookie crumbs I left for her on the ground?
So you may think that fairies are only in books and are not real.
But sometimes its not the things that you can see but the magic that you can feel.

I just recently read a book about the Cottingley fairies (called The Cottingley Secret by Hazel Gaynor) and found the whole story fascinating. It’s great to see a poem here to bring me back to that. Thank you for writing this!
Thank you so much. I am not familiar with that book but will definitely add it my list reading list.
Lovely! I’m left feeling the magic you experience–I already anticipate this poem (and these fairies) will flit in and out of my heart a while. . . .
