Little Bo-Peep adored playing hide and seek, hence the fond nickname; Just as hued rainbow is named for its dazzle, so radiant over every lane! Bo-Peep was eight, and lived on a farm. She had various loves and joys. Her world was full of magic and make believe, and she had sparkly toys. But Bo-Peep loved more than anything, tending peaceful, fleecy sheep, A task she'd only recently started. She loved the gamboling and leaps! Friends Frances and Faye flew kites with Bo-Peep, in berry colors, deep; And loved folk dancing at sunset flame, under the fuchsia sky mystique. Familiar February had fallen fast, and yielded to fresh, fragrant flowers, In leap years of fevered, family visits, when green bared mystic powers. Bo-Peep lived in the house of enigma, ever hailing moments unfamiliar, When moon and sun played hide and seek, as time turnt gold and silver. Red robins roamed rouge, dusk skies, near the royal, Ranunculus Road; And buttercups really brightened the rosy route, where breezes blowed. Nature knew nothing but budding, when neighbors visited the sunlit days, In a nectarine season of noble lives, when they followed the golden rays. Crimson bellied birds faced ruby sunset, raining its beams like cherries; And 'lady of the night' orchids reveled in moonlight, observed by fairies! Elegant orchids were dressed up and dancing, along hot streets of gold, When 'blanket flowers' draped stuff with color, prettying the dull and old. One day Bo-Peep got lost in a daydream, as the frisky lambs wandered. She abruptly realized they'd all gone! Like seconds eternity squandered. No bleating or baas could be heard, and there was no sound near or far; For, not even pink robin was heard in that moment-in a stillness bizarre! After searching the farm in vain, Bo-Peep confessed it all to her parents, Who were calm, wise to ways of sheep; as diamonds ken facet moments. 'Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep, And can't tell where to find them; Leave them alone, And they'll come home, Wagging their tails behind them.' Everything was coming up roses by dawn, like burgundy sun and blooms; And the lambs had all returned, like spring green, emerging from its tomb.

Lost in a daydream, a bizarre stillness, confession was good for the parents wisdom gave Bo-Peep hope and hope indeed produced the lambs - like a resurrection from Christ’s tomb!
