In the Forest

In The Forest

Standing in the middle of Savernake Forest

In Jeans and T-shirt I was dressed

Visiting the magnificently imposing trees

There for a picnic and to run free

In my wanderings and looking around

Listening to all the nature’s sounds

There I spied just by lucky chance

Came suddenly to a frozen stance

I thought they were just in fantasy books

Mythical creatures with graceful looks

But there right by the side of me

There was a fairy ring for all to see

My Auntie said to make sure it’s real

You have to place in it a posy with grass seal

I gathered up one of each different wild flower

A blade of grass wrapped round it for power

I placed it in the middle of the ring

A hopeful wish I decided to sing

Then I went off to continue to play

Knowing I would come back this way

Time to go home came all too soon

So car - ward bound all singing a tune

When I got to that special place

There was amazement on my face

The Posy I had placed right here

Had heart stoppingly disappeared

So there are definitely Fairies in this place

And you can’t wipe this smile off my face
