Bright and Beautiful

Donna Marie McCall 1964 (Florida)



Here we are at the dawn of a new day bright and beautiful.

The dew kisses the grass, and blankets all that is good and bad.

 A new rose blooms.

The clouds part and give grand entrance to the sun that is just about to rise and bring truth and light to all.

The birds awaken and begin their song.

Butterflies float around and bring notice to the beautiful as the sun illuminates the wonder.

For now, all is quiet, but the world is about to come to activity full force and another day is born.

Hello new day, new chances.

Now is the beginning of a new clean slate.

Yesterday is gone, but not forgotten.

Today is here and awaiting to be done,
Bright and Beautiful.
