Clear blue sky; the sun shines down
On you and me and all around
Glist’ning here and there like glitter glue
On my granddaughter’s picture that she drew
Colourful leaves are drifting down
Covering grass and all the ground
The white picket fence is brighter too
The house and shed looking like new
But sunshine makes shadows fall
Against the house, along the wall
Dancing branches, trees that sway
A royal show now on display
The shadows begin to lengthen
As the sun sets in the west
It’s bright- red widening glow
Leaves gentle warmth
on my breast
