I'd love to be a Fairy's Child
CHILDREN born of fairy stock
Never need for shirt or frock,
Never want for food or fire,
Always get their heart's desire:
Jingle pockets full of gold,
Marry when they're seven years old.
Every fairy child may keep
Two strong ponies and ten sheep;
All have houses, each his own,
Built of brick or granite stone;
They live on cherries, they run wild--
I'd love to be a Fairy's child.
Fairies and Fusiliers.

My personal Philosophy:
Respect everything, belittle none,
seek knowledge everywhere.
This way you will be able to sit with Kings and Beggars alike
and both will call you friend;
you don't ever know when
the King may become a Beggar
or the Beggar may become King.
