Barbed wire holds cows in and people outBut life cannot be stopped by wire.Life comes and crosses barriers; Creeps under fences,Climbs over barricades.

I see the color of ocean waves,The green of grass, the shade of leaves, The blue of sky.I see the red of sunrise, the yellow of sunlight, The cerise of sunset, The white of moonlight.I see the color of peach skin.I see the aqua of rain. I see the orange of orange sherbet summer dreams.

Little pink caterpillarAt the summer fairRide the grand Ferris wheel A-spinning in the airBright sunny smiling circleTrimmed in sparkly red,Turning, twirling, topsy-turvyIn Mama's flower bed.
