A Child's Surprise

A kaleidoscope of coloured Swirling illuminating patterns Of red green yellow and blue Merging shades of light Of every hue. Bring a sense of magic and wonder To a young child's eyes A present from Granddad and Grandma To a grateful child Now so happy With their new surprise. The child's imagination runs free. Peter Dome.copyright.2014. June.
