written about a colour

I am the sun on a beautiful day,
Fluffy new chicks fast asleep in the hay,
Caramel sundaes whilst out on the lawn,
The light that enters your bedroom at dawn.

I am the buttercups all in a row,
The ribbon that matches your dress, in a bow,
A pair of new shoes that swing on the gate.
I am the eye of the egg on your plate.

I’m in the picnics you eat on the beach,
The York in the rainbow that’s just out of reach.
As the great ocean swells and then falls with a roar
I am the sand that it greets on the shore.

Feel me in smiles, in love and in laughs –
Look at my backdrop for spots on giraffes!
I am in grapefruit and also in lemons,
Even the skin of ripe honeydew melons.

My name is with submarine also in pages,
I’m played as a song on festival stages.
In bees and canaries I show off my colour
And try as I might I could never be duller!

What in your paint box can colour my face?
Where will you find me in your pencil case?
I am called yellow, I shine like a star-
Carry me with you and you shall go far.
