I see my little girl playing by herself
She comes running to me
To show me what she has found
Her little face is so bright in the joy of discovering
A little leaf that has turned red with the passing of summer
She smiles and happiness radiates through her eyes
Making me warm and cozy in the cold
The wind carries the sounds of her laughter
As she runs after the sparrows, in the lawn
She comes hopping back to me to show me what she can see
Just for a moment, I see what she can see
I see huge trees with leaves of different colours
I see small squirrels chasing each other with abandon
I see small berries that fall from the tree
I see sparrows trying to fly with these berries in their beaks
I see flowers ,tiny flowers, yellow, blue and red
Nestled among the grass, the grass so green
I walk in the grass and can feel the dew tickling my shin
Then I am back to my grown self
I realize how little it takes to keep a child happy
Just a smile and a romp in the park
And my girl is all smiles and her little heart is at peace.
