Day 21 of 30
Orange lipstick adorns her lips
Shimmering in bright sunlight
As she strides forwards
Orange shoes glides down the road
Glowing in the light of the day
As she sweeps into sight
Orange confidence rich in colour
Her warmth radiates around
As she welcomes all
Orange vitality ever growing
Hopping from tree to tree
each time a little closer
quietly gaining confidence
tentatively getting nearer
your bright red chest
your melodious song
Approaching the chair
you stand on one leg
head cocked to one side
paying attention to our words
without interruption
waiting, courageously
for encouragement
brightening my day
