A Day is Born
From a moonless overcast dark sky
Comes a barely visible bit of light;
Dark objects not seen before
Are slowly outlined by this light.
Birds awakened by this early light
Begin their choruses from the trees.
The early morning walker is intrigued
By everything that he now sees.
A barking dog is faintly heard
From somewhere in the distance
While a pappered arrogant cat
Meows at a door for entrance.
A light and airy morning breeze
Blows the dark clouds away
The rising sun spreads it's light
Chasing all the dark away.
The sun starts it's climb
Creating a bright sunny morn
"All's right with the world"
A brand new day is born.
