As I Sat And Watched

As I sat and watched the sun this morning, rise 
It made me realize 
There were children waving "Bye"
To the blue birds in the sky 
When I sat and watched the sun this morning, rise
 
The blue birds flapped their wings 
And the children on their swings 
It made me realize  
That children are having fun
And blue birds fly in the sun
 
"When I sat and watched the sun this morning, rise"

As I watched the sun this afternoon 
I thought the night would be here soon 
It made me realize 
That when that sunlight dies 
I'll sit and watch this evening's moon, rise

I sat and watched this evening's moon, rise
It made me realize 
There were stars out in the skies 
I could hear the angels sing 
And I thought...what else this night might bring?

"While I sit and watch this evening's moon, rise"

Bluebirds, children, stars and angels: the sky holds such wonders and songs. I like the repetition and variations that show the same space with different scenes and moods (all joyful). A lovely celebration of the heavens above - filling your eyes and heart. J :)

A creative, shared frolic thru one topic of human 'wonderments', how great to keep them adult-held over as many things as possible. Enjoyed ... CayCay

If this had rhyme, it would have been a great lyric.
