Yellow

"In a world of worries, find your happiness in yellow." - Unknown 

I find you everywhere 
Morning, noon and night,
On the sun in my hair
Even in the moonlight 

I see you sway in the breeze
Upon sunflowers in the yard,
Then again on autumn trees
To find you is not hard

The school bus, it was due
Went roaring on it's way,
The pencil marked,  #2
Still where I left it lay

Bananas on my cereal bowl
A cool glass of lemonade, 
Butter on a dinner roll
Or bread just freshly made

Cheese in my grilled sandwich 
Melts slowly before my eyes,
Makes a burger extra rich
With a side of golden fries

Turning on the T.V.
I see you in a glance,
From the Simpson family 
To Spongebob Squarepants 

You bring a smile to my face
If ever I'm feeling mellow, 
With a way of warmth and grace
Such is the color ... yellow.
