The Power of a Lunch

A fairy fair came through one day

To settle for a while.

And even though not long she’d stay,

She still looked for a smile.

A long-time fairy resident 

Of the little neighborhood

To the new one’s house she went

To meet her, if she could.

Thrice she knocked on wooded door

When friendly face arrived

An invitation, you ask what for?

A lunch where she abide. 

Happily she answered “yes”

Our new fairy did.

She put on her nicest dress

And out the door she slid.

While eating lunch, the fresh face asked

To be the other’s friend,

Even though when a month had passed,

Her time here would end.

She gladly gave her friendship

To the kind passer-by

They forged a sweet relationship

And boy, the time did fly.

Weeks went on,

A month was nigh.

Time for our fairy 

To say goodbye. 

Leaving was such sweet sorrow

But both knew as they part

They would exist forever, tomorrow,

In each other’s heart.
