A Gift

Jump to Comments

I have a little present here for you inside this tiny bottle ,so very small and blue.
please do not uncork it or everyting will get away.
I thought you might like your own summer’s day
to put it on away.

I’d be pleased if you didn’t ask why I gave this gift to you.
Don’t know myself , did it on a whim, as the thought came runnin’ through.
Thought it might make you happy in a summertime sort of way .
And I thought you might like your own summer’s day ,
to put it on away.

Now, can you read the writing on this tiny bottle wall?
I know it’s quite small but I can read it all.
It says… she who is a readin’ me and lookin’ at my side, might be interested at what lies inside.
it holds one breath of a butterfly, and
one ray from the sun, and
lots ‘n’ lots of laughter from little children’s fun.
So- don’t you dare uncork me
or everything will get away.
I’d like to hold on to my own summer’s day
……………to put it on away………

Thanks for the addition of this one Finnigan!  -Larken

  • i LOVE this song…to this day I sing it whenever I’m feeling nostalgic. My two year old hears it a lot at nap time! I always think of Suess when I sing it:)

  • CHIP! I know it has been almost 14 years, do you remember me? I can’t believe you have a child! Hope all is well with you and your family!
