It started like a smile
And it ended like a laugh
And then repeated over and over
Never ceasing to spread delight
It flew like a cloud
And it landed like snow
Softly and bringing joy to all
Who danced under its embrace
It grew up like a tree
And it fell down like an apple
Awaiting a savior to pick it up
And bring it home to eat
It gave warmth like a fire
And it gave cold like an ice cream
Beheld by a pair of eager young eyes
Filled with innocence and youth
It shined like the sun
And it brought night like the moon
Bringing darkness so we could see
The nighttime’s secret of stars
It kept secrets of the world
And it told the world everything
About happiness and love
And friendship and compassion
It grabbed my hand and led me
It twirled me around in a dance
In a place I had never been
A place full of wonder and bliss
Our friendship opened my eyes
And helped me close them to evil
Threw me into a world of light
And everything feels just right
