Looking For the Sunshine Contest

I counted up to 50 with eyes closed very tight. Was my turn to be ”on” my turn to find the light I looked under the garden hedge Nothing interesting was there. Except a sleepy hedgehog Who looked at me and stared I looked in the garden pond watched the bugs scramble about The water skaters strutting their stuff Where is it hiding I can’t find out … I spotted a yellow balloon Thought wow I have found it now. But it popped when near a rose, Knew it wasn’t that somehow. What am I looking for? You might ask, it’s warm and fine The answers very clear find me the sunshine To warm the flowers in their beds, So nodding colours will awake To brighten up our lives and dance to the hippy hippy shake At last I got out my easel large paintbrush at the ready Painted in a sun at full shine Here it comes, ready, steady The colour lightens up the sky Making one feel warm inside. Start to sing, to waken the birds Welcoming the incoming tide I look at the sea looking so azure Nature to enjoy for free . Doesn’t matter if rich or poor It is there, for you and me
