THE SKY DANCER

The Sky Dancer,

Greets the day.

Then she turns and dances,

Merrily on her way.

The Sky Dancer,

Wearing golden robes of sun,

Dances  from cloud to cloud,

Chasing the breeze for fun.

The Sky Dancer,

Dances through the day,

Twirling and swirling,

As the sky darkens to gray.

The Sky Dancer,

Says goodbye to the light.

Wearing a moonbeam gown,

She turns, and greets the night.

The Sky Dancer,

Dances through the night,

Chasing the stars,

Until the day shines bright.

The Sky Dancer,

Greets a new day.

Then she turns and dances,

Merrily on her way.
