Wake and Smile

Blog 181:

Early dawn she wakes
At first,  reluctant or perhaps shy
She barely warms up
Then she opens her eyes
Mid-day and dons
Her graceful, warmest smiles

Her infectious yellow and orange hues
Start spreading light at the horizon
Soon ... her light parts the trees
And peeks through them
Until all her brightest of smiles
Spread throughout the entire land

She begins her play
She dances and prances
She touches all in her way
And evokes her merry greeting
Saying, "Time to get up ...
And claim the gifts of this new day!"
