I was in the garden
Watching the children play,
Something had caught my eye
But, it quickly flew away.

I was curious to find out
Exactly, what it was,
A bee flew past my ear
Loudly, it did buzz.

I figured my mind
Was playing tricks on me,
So I went back to my porch
And quietly sat in my seat.

I went to take a sip of coffee
And had noticed my cup was full,
I was so sure it was half empty
Quickly sipped a mouthful.

The children were chasing the butterflies
Which they loved to do,
That something had caught my eye again
How quickly it flew.

I walked over to my gazebo
And looked around the bush,
I couldn't see anything
One of my children, gave me a push.

As I turned around
I saw a fairy fluttering there,
Topping off my coffee cup
While balancing herself on my chair.

I decided to walk over to her
And quickly, she was gone,
I quietly sipped my morning coffee
Thought of that fairy, who kept giving me some.
