WHEN THE CHILDREN PARADE
Here comes morning carrying her jug of sunlight
Here comes the twittering birds oh such a delight
The songs they sing of beauty and of colour
The tales they tell each one to the other
A rainbow in the sky adds her smile
Clouds are cousins their hugs span for miles
Something's in the preparation pot
Something's in the brewing oh so hot
Stripes of a zebra stamped black and white
And a lion may decide to be a kite
All this is possible fun is here too
And trucks full of music are there too
Here comes the Sunday of Carnival
Happily toting its boys and gals

Gillena - you have such a way with words - "morning carrying her jug of sunlight" and "clouds are cousins their hugs span for miles" both struck me! And the pictures of the children are delightful. I am amazed at some of the elaborate structures that they are carrying! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday, and have a wonderful week!
