Bright Yellow Leprechaun Gold Hidden Under Child Shadow Chins Poem by Terence George Craddock

who remembers first thrill catching golden rays
illuminating sunlight caught under a child friend's chin
who remembers laying out on the grass as a small child
on a summers day in fairytale time early childhood

simple small flowers tiny buttercups radiant
in rich growing glowing buttercup yellow light
grow in profusion among stem blades green grass
take grown gift a single buttercup plucked

hold it up without expectation under a child friend chin
until that magic moment when sunlight angles right
reflects golden glow rich radiant yellow light

to surprise paint a child's chin in yellow light delight
eyes heart in captured reflected glory golden yellow light
childhood wonder perceives beauty magic inner sight

a trick of the light when angles are right births wonder sight
paints a chin life in rich yellow wonder filled moments
childhood is like that no toys needed in nature perfections
