why is ghost boy so shy

why is he so shy?
he is such a lovely guy
ideas are barren and dry
see how high he can fly?

we looked up into the sky
ghost boy had just said good-bye
tiny like a butterfly
our shy cousin, small fry

I felt a teeny tear in my eye
my body gave a gentle sigh
ghost boy is lithe and spry
goodbye he yelled good-bye, good-bye!

gave me a thumbs up on my lemon pie
his appreciation made me cry
all emotions toward him I multiply
I love him so, I cannot lie!
