Sunshine Over My Shoulder

The warm sun shines over my shoulder, |
As the ripples of the water
Reveal the lake’s awakening
Just after dawn.

The honking of the geese in the distance
And the song of the swallows
Add to the music of the morning,
As I appreciate the beauty of the day.

The chill of the early morning air,
Caresses my skin
Reminding me that I, too, am awake.
I, too, am alive.
