Happy 3rd birthday to my fairy princess.

                               The Song of The Forget-me-not Fairy



Where do fairy babies lie
Till they're old enough to fly?
Here's a likely place, I think
'Mid these flowers, blue and pink,
(pink for girls and blue for boys:
Pretty things for babies' toys!
Let us peep now, gently. Why,
Fairy babies, here you lie!

Kicking there, with no one by.
Baby dear, how good you lie!
All alone, but O, you're not -
you could never be - forgot!
O how glad I am I've found you,
With Forget-me-nots around you,
Blue, the colour of the sky!
Fairy baby, Hushaby!
