What is the summary of "Shining Things" by Elizabeth Gould, and what is the main theme of this poem ?

This is a
poem told from a child's point of view. We know this because of the lines

I love the bright beads round
my mother's throat.

The child-speaker lists in simple language many shiny things he
loves. These include items a child would be likely to stop and wonder at: the moon, the stars,
the sky, a rainbow, and 'bright clouds," as well as smaller objects a child would notice,
such as a glow worm, raindrops on leaves, the shine of a butterfly's wings, the cat's shining
green eyes, and shiny coat buttons. The child-speaker ends his long list of shiny objects by
saying he takes comfort in all these shining things. He then thinks to note that it was good of
God to make all these items.

The theme or meaning of the poem is to encourage
adult readers to remember to take a childlike pleasure and delight in the simple objects of
life, which are freely available to all of us to enjoy.
