Melting Away

I’M MELTING AWAY WITH CRAYON PICTURES UNDER THE SUN I DRAW BIRD AND I BECOME A BIRD AND FLYING IS SUCH FUN COLOR ME BLUE WITH FEATHERS OF ORANGE AND RED MAYBE I’LL BE AN ANGEL BIRD WITH A HALO ABOVE MY HEAD I’LL BUILD MY NEST IN THE TALLEST TREE THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE SUN I CAN WATCH OVER THE CHILDREN AND COMFORT EVERY ONE I’LL SEARCH FOR A RAINBOW AND BATHE IN ITS’ SOFT LIGHT UNTIL THE WIND CARRIES ME INTO THE GENTLE NIGHT AND THEN I WILL GO BACK TO THE COMFORT OF MY NEST THE MOON HAS TOLD ME THAT IT’S TIME TO REST I PUT AWAY MY CRAYONS ALONG WITH MY FADING DREAMS THE COLORS HAVE MELTED AWAY BUT I WILL KEEP THESE WINGS©

this surprised me. I started and thought I'd not get into it, but I DID and really thought it was charming. Thanks!
