SlumberCloud9

Dear first love,
I want to sleep on a cloud
And drizzle my love on you
And I want to hop on the stones and cross the river on my toes

Dear somebody,
I want to stretch on top of the mountain and chase an eerie butterfly
Will you catch me and walk me down the valley?
Will you float on a lotus leaf with me?

Dear charming,
I write you letters you can't read with my magical pen every now and then
Seal it with some fairy dust and send it through the cherubs
I've hung an invisible dream catcher above your head
To keep the nightmares away

Dearest first love,
Will you sleep on a cloud with me,
Kiss the stars goodnight and put me to sleep again?

I thought it was really cute and watching them have so much fun delighted me. A little while later, I saw this other little girl standing all by herself in the corner. She was really shy and timid and I tried to take her to the place where the other kids were so she could enjoy herself too. As soon as I reached there with her, the cute angel looking 4 year old hit her and said "Nahi, koi isse baat mat karo. Yeh Laxmi ki beti hai, aur yeh kaali aur stinky hai." (Laxmi being her care taker/ domestic help). When I told her moth...
