Wake Up the Child In You

Splash in a mirror of glistening mud puddles
Take time to make mud pies, do a caterpillar cuddle
Then stand still, listen well, let the wind tickle your ears
Breathe in deep, then exhale, let go of all your fears
Sing a new song to the moon as it wakes up the night
Wave to the stars glimmering in their brilliant light
Stretch your imagination to delight the child in you
Finger painting in the sand with natures golden hue
Mix your day together with smiles, love and laughter
Be true to your dreams, live a life happy ever after
