Rise and shine

"I don�t think of all the misery,
but of the beauty that still remains.
~Anne Frank~

As the moon returns home, she whispers to the sun,
"Time to rise and shine. The world awaits you."
While the sun stirs, he peeks his head out from underneath
The blanket of the night's sky.
He stretches and yawns, slowly making his way up to the grand stage.

He looks back to catch a glimpse of his love and smiles.
She winks back. "Show time!"
In an instant, he is ready to embrace the world again.

And with his arms spread wide open,
He gently kisses the horizon,
Releasing his beautiful display of strength and splendor for all to enjoy.

As he make he way higher into the sky, he calls out to all who listen,
"Hello big beautiful world! It's a brand new day. So make it a good one!"

This is a wonderful day, I have never seen this one before."
