On such cold, wet days, the trees and we like to remember the sunshine; so today I wrote an “Ode to Sunlight.” I hope you enjoy it and that this photo reminds you that the sun will come out again soon.
Encircle me in sunlight;
Let me drink in its sweet rays.
Let me climb out of the night
Into bright and dazzling day.
Blanket me in your sunbeams
From a gentler clime than this;
Lift me into your light streams
And fill me with solar bliss.
Gift me with your golden song;
Let me join in its refrain.
Whisper to me all day long
Until lasting light remains.
And when sunset paints the sky
With the colors of your heart,
I will breathe your softest sigh
And know we will never part.
