I once knew a fairy named Maddie
Her wings were all withered and torn
Her hair was all matted and knotty
Her dress was all dirty and worn
The sun had stopped shining in summer
The sky had done nothing but rain
The wind hadn’t once stopped it’s howling
It could drive a sane person insane
The wind had got hold of sweet Maddie
And spun her about in it’s storm
The rain did a good job of drenching
She was cold when she should have been warm
So now she was stuck in a spider web
Her wings just too weak to get free
She cried silver tears in the darkness
There was no one to help her but me
I plucked her quite gently from danger
And washed her right up in the sink
I dried her dress and combed her hair
And gave her a pillow of pink
She smiled as the sun warmed the window
And the wind blew the clouds from the sky
The rain toned it down to a drizzle
And sweet Maddie, wings dry, said Goodbye
angels or fantasy? Love, Joyce
