Welcome, Sunshine

Shadows of the night, be gone.

Your time well-spent in nourishment,

Nurturing the dreams of light

As dawn brings hope of new beginnings.

 

Welcome, Sunshine,

Welcome friend

Smiling down upon my face.

Spread your joy across my brow,

Raise your manna to my lips.

 

Sadness cannot breach your fortress,

Tragic cause must pass you by as

Every creature great and small

Upward turns to meet your stare.

 

Faithful watcher,

Silent giver,

Asking nothing in return.

Not in worship, but our kinship

Bids me pause to offer praise.
