"kiss the Sun!"

Here I am, standing in the sun.... Ran into a wall again, and now I am not so sure, what the future holds? But, let me take a look, inside that is ~ Perspectives and points of view Many years ago, I barely stayed alive At the end of the rope, once upon a time.... Looking back now, at all of the seasons that have gone by Faces, places, moments in time ~ Nothing but gratitude, how could I ever cry Standing, here, in the sun.... Its a glorious day, a gift from above! I do not know, I do not care What I have lost? Or being alone? Peering, beyond the horizon, of what shall come ~ A smile now growing, upon my face A fortunate soul, no matter what, tomorrow may bring!? Amid all of these years of borrowed time Beautiful hearts and, wonderful eyes ~ Rising, again, within this sun.... What walls? What thorns? The crowds passing by "Life," perspectives, points of view? Years, tears, love, and, "You" ~ One more day, one more chance, above it all.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ Kiss the Sun! Note: Smile ~ Just listening to the song "Its A Beautiful Day" by "U2" & thought, I would repost this poe from a moment ago amid time...."Don't Let It Get Away, 'Love Always,'" John!:) ~

O, you rock John! ! I haven't read this before so I'm glad your reposted it. It's late but had to stop by before I go to dreamland! With the Sun in your life nothing else overshadows- Nothing can compare.. His constant watch unending! Reading this I know there've been some rough time in the past but that's the past and I am so glad that you're here today. A definite favorite!!! Much love, Audrey
