    such soft seeing eyes
    virid hues glisten to fade
    autumn bids farewell

    (😬 hope it works this way…🙏🤍)

    All the cuteness

    You remind me of a time
    sweet, innocent and sublime.

    When I see you, I automatically smile.
    In the folder ‘things that make me happy’, is your file.

    If you’re being chased by a dog, I cheer for you.
    If you are dead on the highway, I weep for you.

    From your cute nose to your fluffy tail,
    little bunny, in the wild, your life is so frail.

    Run. Jump, play.
    Enjoy everyday.

    You don’t know it, little bunny,
    but you make my life sunny.
