A Changeling is a fairy
   who is secretly left
         in a cradle
in place of a human child.



The rustle of the wind reminds us a Fairy is near.
                        ~ Author Unknown

And as the seasons come and go,
here's something you might like to know. 
There are fairies everywhere: 
under bushes, in the air,
playing games just like you play,
singing through their busy day. 
So listen, touch, and look around -
in the air and on the ground. 
And if you watch all nature's things,
you might just see a fairy's wing.
