CHANGES OF THE SEASONS

CHANGES OF THE SEASONS

In the Fairy Garden 

The seasons now are changing

and busy Fairy folk

Will soon be rearranging.

 

Spring flowers are now blooming

and fragrance fills the air

Fairy garden beds all tidy

and tended with such care.

 

It is a busy time for Fairies

As they flit from here to there.

Sweeping away the cobwebs

As they extend their care.

 

But they have Fairy relatives

On the other side of the world

Who now will face a winter

With petals and leaves all curled.

 

Some of you farewell winter

and hope for warmer days,

Such special times in the garden

For all your fairy ways.

 

Some Fairies now are flitting

Among the summer's last blooms

Making way to sweep away the leaves

With their little Fairy brooms.

 

So if you are a fairy 

With summer on the way,

Enjoy each day of warmth 

And every summer day.

 

But if the days are shortening for you

And winds are strong and cold

Be safe my little Fairy friend ~

Enjoy your days of gold.

 

To all the little Fairy folk

Who bring to us such pleasure

Enjoy the changing of the seasons

And always the memories treasure.

AUTUMN CALLING

AUTUMN CALLING

The seasons now are changing

And autumn calls my name,

She wears her red gold gown

And I recall her fame.

I trace again in memory

The changing of the years

When summer turned to autumn

And left some cold and icy fears.

The leaves are changing on the trees

And my life is changing too

So many things are different ~

But I remember you.

I remember all the friendship

The love, the trust and care.

The dark and gloomy times for me

When always you were there.

I remember all the anxious times

When you helped me face my fears,

The days and nights you cared enough

To wipe away my tears.

The wind is cool and days grow short

An empty home where laughter dwelt

Quieter times and passing seasons

In a house where love was felt.

I’ve watched them grow and leave the nest

To fly and soar above,

I gave them roots to anchor them

But mostly I gave them love.

I gave them wings and see them flying

And living their lives well.

I hope they know how proud I am ~

I hope that they can tell.

So as Autumn calls my name once more

I cherish this special season

It brings a mellow wistfulness

It gives my heart a reason.

GOOD MORNING - WELCOME TO A TRIAL RUN OF A NEW SET UP.

Hi there,

I am trying out a new layout for The Pages of Avalon Blog, which gives you, the reader the opportunity to view it in several styles.

• Classic
 
• Flipcard
 
• Magazine
 
• Mosaic
 
• Sidebar
 
• Snapshot
 
• Timeslide

• This bar across the top of the blog allows you to choose how you view things.

• I personally like the SNAPSHOT view - have a look around and see what you think and what suits you best - and let me know - I can always take it back to it's orginal format.

• 
  

• Love and hugs,

• Linda.
