SUNSHINE Sunshine on the water Reflecting clear blue skies And peeping through the mists Will bring tears to my eyes. When I reflect upon the colour That sunshine brings to me I realize that without it How dreary days would be. It brings me warmth And ripens grain, Dries up muddy puddles After many days of rain. I feel its warmth Upon my shoulder, Seasons changing ~ Getting bolder. Summer sunshine Fierce heat, Sunburned swimmers Blistered feet. I love the sunshine And all that it brings But I have seen Some damage it brings. Sunshine on the water On the sea and on the land, Part of the seasons The way it was planned. © Linda J.
