I feel so lucky when I rise from my bed <br />There is one thing on my mind <br />And that is to look at the morning sky <br />I’m thrilled about what I will find <br /> <br />Mesmerized, I watch the sun come up <br />With colors truly earth-shaking <br />Blazing as though the sky’s on fire <br />The perfect time for some picture taking <br /> <br />I’m excited about every single sunrise <br />For each has a different look <br />Colors and designs are never the same <br />Perfectly created for my picture book <br /> <br />I’m so thankful for the enormous beauty <br />That is right before my eyes <br />As I enjoy with true appreciation <br />My own backyard sunrise!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/backyard-sunrise/
