WHEN THE SKY COMES OUT

My sister’s grandson at age 3 would wake his mother up enthusiastically shouting that the sky was out and time for her to rise! It’s great to see the world through a child’s perspective! 

When the sky comes out, pink clouds on the horizon Coffee’s smellin’ strong and everybody’s risin’
A new day has come with the bright yellow sun All’s right in the world as you know it.
When the sky goes in and nighttime is a-fallin’ Eyes won’t stay awake and that bed’s a-callin’
The night’s come too soon with the man in the moon But a new day will dawn before you know it.
            What’s wrong with this picture it seems too perfect        Everything is sweet like molasses and syrup
            What kind of creature would have this experience?        A well-loved dog or a three year old kid!
            All kids want is to be like adults Eat what they want, stay up late like grownups.
            Adults want their lives to be as simple as a breeze, Eat what’s prepared; sleep as late as they please.

Kids want to be a little older than they are. Some grow too fast---some go too far.
All grownups want is to be little kids. Live in Never Neverland like Peter Pan did! (or was that Michael Jackson?)
No one’s ever happy with the age that they are. The grass is always greener in someone else’s yard.
