As gold as the rays of the sun.
Shimmering and waving with life.
Making everyone realize that life is often on the run.
Waiting for someone to see what is really so easy to see.
Hair as light and flowing as the day is long, waiving with pure fun.
 
The sun could never be so bright.
Nor could it be so warm.
Dancing in circles ever so tight.
Skipping along an unexplained path.
Smelling and tasting the scent of flowers in the wind.
 
Joy for Joy’s sake.
Smiling for no reason at all.
Laughing with nothing at stake.
Squirming with delight and standing tall.
Not afraid to fall.
