A Child's Eyes

A Child Eyes Candied apples sticky and sweet Ferris wheel and cotton candy treat Curly blonde hair eyes wide and blue Carmel candy stuck to her shoe. Balloons all colors given by clowns Face painted smiles nary a frown Pennies tossed a goldfish won Smell of popcorn, can I have some Elephants march, poodle’s dance Heads spin to catch a glance. House of mirrors makes her laugh. Granny, look at you so big and fat Dusk approaches she rubs her eyes. Grandpa picks her up as she sighs. Fairy dust sprinkles fell into her eyes Dancing in her dreams where fairies fly Closing her eyes, she drifts to sleep Safe in grandpa’s arms she snuggles deep She felt comfort in grandpa's kiss sweet Placed in her bed, handed a teddy to keep Glittered vapors rise from children’s laughter. Screams of excitement hit the rafters. These are the memories that will stay. Reminding her of this Magical day Copyright ©2005 Carole Cookie Arnold
