I wake up to see the sun shining
And to my surprise
It glows in my eyes
And awakes me from all slumber of sleep
I thought to see a day of mourning
But as I look around
Sadness is storming
There’s something about this magic morning
Welcomes you back to a world that’s like a dream
Filled with laughter, love and warming feelings
That glow from the sunlight to the grass and fallen leaves
Revealing a day of enchanted moments and festivities
I see a man
Who makes a spot in the shade
Under a tree that sways
To the bird’s glorious tune
A mother walks her daughter in her stroller
A dog chases a squirrel on the street
We all laugh when we meet this joyous sight
A grandmother watches the sun as it rises
Thinking about life and all its surprises
Her eyes are blind, but she can still feel
The feeling of it all
The mailman smiles and waves at everyone he meets each day
The children dance and play making the day even happier
The sounds of banging and barking and talking away
May sound alarming to your ears
But they just welcome the magic of the morning
That comes and goes
From day to night
But don’t fright
It will come back the next day
And the cycle keeps going and going
With new treasures in overflow
So don’t waste it away
Live your day making it yours
