Rainbows stretched across the sky,
Roses, frogs and dragonflies,
Yapping puppies, kittens puring,
Birds singing lullabies,
Cooing doves, a baby's sigh.
Soft cartooned clouds
That make you laugh,
first bears, tigers, then tall beautiful giraffes.
Pansies posing at the gate, with a frog
In top hat waiting for his fancy date.
Sunflowers and daffodils,
A bright red kite just over the hill.
Clouds and sunshine in warm embrace,
Spider webs spun like lace.
Butterflies all a flutter,
Sunbeams flowing like melted butter.
A scavenger hunt of blissful treasures
Filled with laughter without measure.
Play time, open to one and all,
Summer, winter, spring or fall.
