The Everlasting Light I shine forever free. I do not cost a cent. I need no bulb or battery. My light is permanent. You’ll find me way up in the sky, When each new day’s begun. But do not look me in the eye- I am the shining SUN.

The Shiny-Faced Friend You’ll find me hanging on the wall Looking back at you. My shiny face is everyplace For anyone to view. You see me when you brush your teeth And when you comb your hair. I try to look just like you do. Forgive me when I stare. A wicked witch once asked of me, “Who’s the fairest of us all?” But I, of course, could never say- I’m just a MIRROR on the wall.
