A Bright And Shiny Yellow


When I was a baby my mother would sing this song to me.  It was just a little something that she made up…

Shay, Shay the world ain’t gray

It’s a bright and shiny yellow

Shay, Shay please do stay

Cause I’m your loving fellow

The world ain’t gray

It’s a lovely day

Please stay and have some fun

There are things to do and things that must be done

This song has stuck with me.... just a hope from a mother to her daughter that her life will be blessed and that she will be loved. Unfortunately there have been times when the world has been gray, times that one or the other of us couldn’t stay, days that weren’t so golden. But there’s always this hope…Hope that the gray skies will clear, hope that a loving fellow will come to me, hope that there will be fun.  Mostly though, hope that the world really is the bright and shiny yellow place that my mother wished for me.
