Sunlight in a world of grey

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?” ― A. A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

You’re my sunlight in a world  of grey.

You’re my reminder that it’s always important to play.

You’ve rekindled a want to dance,

You create smiles with a single glance.

Love and light is hard to see,

In a world that won’t let us be.

But revisiting the age of four or five,

Is enough of a reminder of how to be alive.

Because with drawing, dancing, and singing too -

When it comes to play, there’s always something to do.

No grammar, no judgement, no rules.

Just innocence before we have to deal with schools.

I know we’ll all have to grow up someday.

But till then, I will simply say,

Thank you for being a reminder to play.

Thank you for being a ray of sunlight in a world of grey.
