The Fairy of Motherhood
At night beside her precious charge she'll tarry
softly crooning lullabies till morn-
most blessed of all God's helpers is this fairy
who serves the mother and her newly born.
When magic dust is sprinkled from above,
the harried mother holds her baby near.
The fairy aids the blossoming of love
in one who coos while cradling her dear.

Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower,
The moping owl does to the moon complain.
- Thomas Gray
What most attracts fairies?
Laughter is the biggest. Fairies always seem to gather where there are children playing. Where there is joy, ceremony and color, fairies will be found.
