How good to lie a little while
And look up through the tree!
The Sky is like a kind big smile
Bent sweetly over me.

The Sunshine flickers through the lace
Of leaves above my head,
And kisses me upon the face
Like Mother, before bed.

The Wind comes stealing o'er the grass
To whisper pretty things;

A child should never feel a fear,
whenever he may be​

Passage
I'm glad we had a chance to conduct final interviews with the two candidates for the Muscle Power Protein Shake sales position. Before we vote, I'd like to share some observations about the first candidate, Tom. Tom seemed a bit modest during the interview, not wanting to speak up about himself. But when he did finally get going, he was overly complimentary about his own accomplishments. In addition, I should add that this is a sales position, so much time will be spent interacting with customers. As far as personal appearance, Tom is quite slender, which could be an issue, given the product he's selling. So, you could say I was underwhelmed by this candidate.
