For Howard, my loving father who taught me to find the silver lining of every cloud.

3

You can call upon sweet dear elves to come and keep you company. They will bring you Elfin magic and bestow peace and harmony.

4

Elves will bring rays of love and joy as you pick ripe fruit and berries. They’ll lend their care and help prepare. Little elves are very merry.

5

Elves will guide you to find treasures and help you make your dreams come true through your own efforts and two hands, as nature’s sparkles rain on you. 6

When you wish for someone’s healing or you gather gifts for others and you act with loving kindness elves protect true nature lovers.

7

Elves gather sparkles from snowflakes. They bring light twinkles when they’re near and magic from sun-kissed dew drops. Small friends are so precious and dear. 8

Elves like to dip their treasured wicks in beeswax, they save that is gold. They love to make tiny candles to bring warmth when the nights are cold. 9

If you hang glass beads and crystals from bird houses and branches, the sun will shine through with prisms and make rainbows for elf dances. 10

Elves make sure that plants get sunshine and shower love upon new seeds. They weave sun threads with strings of harps and make us dream catchers that gleam. 11

Elves help to care for the sweet birds and weave their love into bird nests. They love to whistle as birds chirp. Elves can help us to feel our best. 12

Riding on their winged friends that sing give helpful elves a bird’s eye view. They’ll take a ride on birds that glide which helps them to watch over you. 13

Elves add sun and songs to water for animal and fairy friends. They gift us with nature’s kindness. Gnomes love the gardens they help tend.

14

Gnomes love to play on trellises they climb on to trim the roses. Elves plant seeds and add light twinkles and rays to water from hoses.

15

As elves gift us with their music soft songs of beauty and joy ring.

Butterfly magical wings glide and open wide as blossoms sing. 16

Flowers and bluebells are trumpets as elves play festive symphonies. They strum and play acorn cap drums as cheerful music fills the breeze.

17

Elf and gnome friends like to frolic around trees, flowers, plants and logs and relax by glistening streams while they listen to birds and frogs.

18

Inside tiny boats made of bark or upon floating leaves of green little friends relax as they drift. In a soft breeze they glide downstream.

19

Elves love to add special flavors of joy and pearlescent sprinkles plus a teaspoon of happiness and magic rainbow light twinkles.

20

Kindness can be felt from each elf. They love to help us make pie crusts. Elves will sprinkle homemade filling with their true special elfin dust.

21

Elves help you to spin your own wool and use homemade natural dyes. The elves will gather rainbow rays and magic songs for lullabies.

22

Elves love to sew fairy sized clothes, tiny mittens and little scarves. They help bring order to our lives and guide us to live from our hearts.

23

They’ll make crafts extra beautiful, help make things new and sew and glue. Elves will check projects while you sleep and even do a stitch or two.

24

Dear elves slide on knitting needles. They can help teach you to crochet. They’ll help you become an artist in your own true and special way. 25

If you want elves to come visit you can make them small cozy beds and embroider tiny blankets with brightly colored shiny threads.

26

Elves can help you feel brighter so that the light in your heart glows. They’ll shower you with sweet sparkles To help you step into life’s flows.

27

Elves gather up pearls from moonbeams, soft sparkles from rainbows so bright, golden shimmers of the sun’s rays and diamond light from stars at night.

28

To elf magic jars of twinkles they add holiday hope and cheer. Each time you are loving and kind they’ll sprinkle you throughout the year. 29

You can call on your own presence and dear Helpers any hour. They will guide you to place your trust in love’s special healing powers.

30

When you touch the lives of others in sweet and little thoughtful ways, Mother Nature’s Helpers will come to play and be with you each day.
