Looking through a hole in the cloud I saw your smiling face, It made me so happy, with every line such beauty to trace; You looked playfully down from the sky and joyfully danced, And I wildly jumped like a child in some fantasy entranced.
You said this pretty day was for play with nothing else to say, So I ran toward your rainbow with pleasure paving the way; You said I had to leave all sadness behind so I could have fun, Then you took me by the hand and led me straight into the sun.
Away so far in that big, bright star you led me to a special place, And who would’ve thought you had a kingdom in outer space? We sang and skipped, danced and twirled round the fire trees, And watched in awe the lava honey collected by blazing bees.
I never knew till that day there were such amazing places to go, When I lifted my eyes into the sky instead of looking so low… To see your radiant face shining through that hole in the cloud, To discover there are places where joy and happiness abound.
Thank you dear child.
