A Rarity

It is one of God's own treasures
And is presented unto me
In a frame of golden sunshine
On a sea of tranquility.

This day is worth the living through
The other three sixty and four.
It's accompanied with a promise,
He will someday, be sending more.
Forgive me please, for lamenting
When skies were dreary, dark and gray.
They were part of the formula
That created this special day.
I'm glad it comes infrequently,
This unique day and its pleasures.
I recognize its summer dress.
It is one of God's own treasures.

Joyce, a beautiful write. I think you worked the repeated line in her very naturally and, I think it adds to the message of the poem. Nice job. Joe

Wow, I think I'd die if I didn't see the sun at least once a week, I could never live in a place where it is so rare-One of the drawbacks of being a desert rat! Beautiful write about a special day for you!~Tirzah~

a great topic...Someday up in heaven I'm going to apply for a job with the angels ofd paintinf the sky. (by me).... I enjoyed your insightsa. If you want to polish this up, try doing a syllable count on each line. Then try saying it outloud. If you strumble on any parts, you can bet your readers will to... this is too good of a topic to not polish - wewll done - Kevin WordsDoMatter
