Years go by
As the fairies sow
The seeds of a flower
That no one knows,
With petals the hue
Of a fire show.

They dig into the
Caramel soil,
The warm sun lighting
Their field of toil.

In a stain glass jar
They stow
The sweet nectar
That forever flows,
A beautiful enchantment
With an effervescent glow.

Placed on a sloop
And rowed down the stream,
The nectar inspires
A young child’s dream.
