About This Quote

The little girl in this poem is caught up in the beauty of the night and the moon that shines over her. She sees the lights of the fairies that dance across the grass, and she knows that they will be there to protect her and make her feel good. They are like a fairy guardian angel and they make her feel safe and secure. She can rest easy, knowing that she has people who care for her and will do everything they can to keep her safe.
