Analysis of The Night Fairy
Kanoelani Perry 1975 (Tx.)
Gracefully she dances thru the midnight sky
Mesmerizing every living being she passes by.
Every sunset she begins her flight
She is a well known creature of the night
Mishevieously she laughs when she creates a fuss
As she prances by spreading her magic dust
Little do most people know, that every night
She has just one important goal
Silently she listens for their cries
And in and out of lil girls dreams she flies
Turning their bad thoughts into good
Protecting them proudly as any nignt fairy would
As the darkness fades with the morning light
She knows its time to disappear from sight
Peacefully she will sleep thru the day
Listening to the tinkling laughter of lil girls at play.

About this poem
Written one wild summer I was watching my nieces, to help my sis in law out. Its about the magic that happens at night to keep little girls and big girls happy all day. I've had it published on here before in 2006 but i guess it got lost.
