A Fairy Who Would Not Accept Nay

Inspired by Fairy Story written by Stevie Smith located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

Once upon a morning dew a fairy left and went her own way

Stubborn, proud she flew and learned all that they said she cannot obtain

Smiles of ambition marched as a soldier’s straight back within

I will not I will not accept that I am a loser but a trooper who fights on anyway

Step by step flight by flight I watch I learn I assimilate and continue on despite the odds I am the fairy who would not accept nay

I am God’s little blessing who thanks him all the time I say
