Lulu Skip To My Lu

The sun beamed through her window, and brightened up the air 
When the mornings dim moon faded, she saw stardust everywhere 
Her little nose softly whistled, and her eyelids gave a wink 
When the lampposts in the garden, had all begun to blink 
The sunflowers all popped up their heads, looking tall in all their poses 
While the tulips and the daffodils, were mingling with the roses 
My child woke up from her sleep, and fed water to the plants 
Then she sprinkled stardust on them all, to watch them all wake up and dance 
Peeking through my bedroom window, and watching my daughter having so much fun
I had to smile when I saw my child, laughing and waving to the sun 
Good-bye she spoke in her meek-quiet voice, I'll see you again, Mr. Sun, real soon 
But I have to go to school right now, so please come back this afternoon 
So, when schooltime was over, and she was skipping her way back home 
The sun popped out to stay with her, so she would not skip back alone
