The Sun Shines Down
The Sun Shines Down
by Katrina Lybbert
The sun
shines down on me,
On flowers, grass, and a bumblebee.
On flowers, grass, and a bumblebee.
The sun
shines down on you,
On trees, birds, and lakes so blue.
On trees, birds, and lakes so blue.
The sun
shines down on everyone,
How happy we are to play in the sun!
How happy we are to play in the sun!
Summer Sun
Summer sun in the
sky
Shining, shining up so high
Makes it warm for outside fun
To play at the park and run
To swim, hike, and fish
Shining, shining up so high
Makes it warm for outside fun
To play at the park and run
To swim, hike, and fish
And go on a picnic, if you wish!
Bright Sun
Bright sun shining
down,
Shining on the ground.
What a lovely face you have,
Shining on the ground.
What a lovely face you have,
Yellow, big, and round.
