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.
