See the Sadness Sweeping Bye

See the Sadness Sweeping Bye

I saw something that we all see, when bad things shake out our heads,

I saw bright rainbows, in summer afternoons, sweep away grass that was dead.

I saw a smile go walking by and I wondered and wondered at that,

I saw a red furry, funny thing, go swishing by with a hat.

I saw a rocket-like star, shooting up to a sky, higher than the Night,

And a snarling rascal, slide slyly away, passed a wildly running sprite.

OOOOOOH! It was scary, and YIKES! It was hairy,

A black that shriveled my bones,

Yet my heart grew warm, when a ringy, jang, jingle, was heard at the top of our homes.

Swirling silvers, fireworks laughing, and giggles, and winking all night,

Laughter so quiet , a rumbling merry, and then shooting swiftly from sight.
