THE FAERY’S SILLY SONG
by Wilfried F. Voss 

Rocking horse and silly goose,
Tiddly winks in apple juice,
Chinese yo-yo, ladybugs,
Give your teddy many hugs,
Sing a faery’s silly song, forget the weeping
The world makes sense when you are sleeping.

Nose flute and some potty putter,
Jingling bells and peanut butter,
Doo doo darts and jester Jack,
Water ping pong, bubble pack,
Sing a faery’s silly song, little girls and boys,
Take pleasure in childhood’s many joys.

Painted wings, childhood’s great defender,
And giants’ rings are such great splendor.
Keep these treasures, don’t grow old
In a world of tears and full of cold.

Butterfly garden, jumping ropes,
Spinning top, kaleidoscopes,
Finger football, tin kazoo,
Wet pants, soaked through and through,
Sing a faery’s silly song, keep an open heart,
Do not let a cruel world tear it apart.

Painted Wings and Giants’ Rings

A Novel by Wilfried F. Voss

The loss of innocence, when “painted wings and giants’ rings made ways for other toys” is the central theme of this festival of children’s dream world adventures against the harsh reality of adult life.

In his newest novel, Wilfried F. Voss delivers a unique and insightful view into a child’s world and how it relates to the harsh reality of adult life, in this case the life of Roger Wilkinson, a businessman who is haunted by childhood memories and the ultimate fear of mistreating his own children. Wilkinson is in a coma after a car accident on the Massachusetts Turnpike, and he does not respond to physical stimulation. The doctor, assuming psychological issues, describes his condition as dwelling in a dark place. Consequently, Roger’s children, Patrick and Siobhan, decide to rescue their father from the dark place and bring him to Never-Neverland, because, in their view, nobody dies in Never-Neverland.

Painted wings, childhood’s great defender,
And giants’ rings are such great splendor.
Keep these treasures, don’t grow old
In a world of tears and full of cold.
- The Faery’s Silly Song
