After the end of a dark night

Comes the gentle morning light.

The sun’s warmth feels like a shower,

Unlike midday rays that overpower.

I can enjoy exposure without concern,

Without risking any pesky sunburn.

It’s a peaceful, pleasant way 

To get going and start my day.

Leap, run, run
Is my cadence
In the morning sun
Near my residence.
The sun on my skin
Feels warm and good.
A touch of silken
Breeze cools the neighborhood.
I wave at the neighbor
I see as I run past.
It adds to the caliber
Of my day's forecast.

Sunshine Song II

First thing in the morning

When there’s nothing wrong,

I’m outside running

Singing my sunshine song

Later in the day,

When I’m feeling strong

And things are going my way,

I’ll hum my sunshine song.

Thru out the rest of the day

As I work and go along

I’ll be making my way

Singing my sunshine song.

It feels like summer outside
So open the windows wide.
I hear a twittering bird,
A glorious day is assured.
Sandals and shorts at that
Will go with my straw hat.
