Splash!
Flecks of sunshine
glisten and glimmer,
flicker and dance
across the waves like fireflies.
We gather up the golden,
gossamer drops of dazzle,
as many as we can hold,
and throw them up to the sky.
They rain down on us with
cool kisses from the sun.
We splish and splash
and laugh
until our bellies ache.
glisten and glimmer,
flicker and dance
across the waves like fireflies.
We gather up the golden,
gossamer drops of dazzle,
as many as we can hold,
and throw them up to the sky.
They rain down on us with
cool kisses from the sun.
We splish and splash
and laugh
until our bellies ache.
