HOP,
SKIP AND JUMP
Through
this life
Never
thinking of the moment
But
living in the moment
The
day is here
I’m
hoping that it will bring some cheer
Flitting
here and there
Without
a care
Skipping
over the negative
Skipping
for joy
Oh
boy
The
dawn just breaking
What
are we forsaking?
Not
a cloud in the sky
The
rain clouds have passed me by
Way
up there in the lofty skies
The
sun yet to shine
Then
it’ll be yours and mine
The
frosty ground
Has
me a leap frogging
Over
the whimsy bare dandelion
Its
fragility, its delicacy
Standing
so tall and strong
Oh
this is a wondrous feat
My
wings scattering the few seeds
Seeds
that will grow in the coming months
Oh
I know! Those pesky dandelions
The
bane of your lives
But
they will always survive
No
matter what you try to do
They
will always shine through
Glittering,
shimmering
In
the day break
I
flit here and there
Backwards,
forwards
Hopping
and flitting
Jumping
and flying
Spreading
my wings
Spreading
those seeds
Seeds
of newness
Like
the newborn day
Hooray,
hooray
Leaping
like a frog
From
one lily to another
Oh
such joy
Oh
girl, oh boy
Oh
such joy to everyone
On
this newborn day
Singing
on this newborn day
The
new seasons are coming
Day
by day
The
days become lighter
Brighter
On
each and every newborn day
