The Butterfly Fairy
There is a young fairy that lives by the sea.
Her name is Jodie the Butterfly Fairy.
She had lived in the same place all of her days,
By the sea of tranquillity where the butterfly plays.
One day she awoke to hear the chattering of flowers,
Under the light of the moon, in the early hours.
“What is it, why are you awake at this time of the day,
And why are the butterflies already out to play?”
“Look at the sea” The flowers replied, “a path had been laid by the moon,
It is the path of love, peace and light, beckoning you to tread on it soon.
The butterflies were rejoicing, “We are here to guide you along the way,
On your path to love and light, where the sun shine’s every day.
“But I can’t leave my faithful old friend, Mrs Fungi,
She will probably get lonely and shrivel up and die”.
The moon said
“If the fungus is truly your old faithful friend
I am sure she won’t mind, her heart will mend”.
“Look at all those good souls waiting for you to cross over
The sea of tranquillity, to the land of the four leaved clover”.
“But why would I want to do that, why would I want to leave here”?
Asked the fairy to her friends, who she so wanted to stay near.
“You are so young, yet you are stuck in the dark of the night,
Now is the time to cross over, you have to walk into the light”.
“Come on” said the moon, “you will learn much about love and romance”
The butterflies fluttered all excited “let’s go while you’ve still got the chance”
“Will I be happy and have friends like you, in this place where I’ve never been?”
“How will I know who to trust on this path to a place I have never seen?”
“Yes” said the moon “you will be very happy and your guides will be there
To teach you about trust, on your way to the land that is just and fair.”
“What have you really got to lose, apart from the darkness in your life?
I thought you wished to find happiness, not live with the same old strife.
Why are you stalling? Go on my child go, you won’t look back, I promise.
Say goodbye to Mrs Fungi, I know you‘ll love that place more than this.”
“Alright “said the Fairy “I will miss you all dearly but I must give it a try”.
So off she flew towards the light with the spirit of a playful, young butterfly.
