Sunrise

The sun rises above mountains at dawn
The sleeping villagers wake and yawn
The sun awakes Mother Nature too
The blackness of night fades into blue
The dark gray clouds are gone for the day
And little white clouds are here to stay
The ponds turn blue after inky black
And happiness in a way is back
The flowers once again open their colors so gay
As the night silently creeps away
Oh joy! For the glory of day
Drives all my sorrows away
The cheer that living each day brings
Such lightness to my heart that it sings
