Bright Sunny Rays, Sent This Soul Into Glee

Bright Sunny Rays, Sent This Soul Into Glee

I woke that clear morn in dew laden grass,
Still dreaming, of night's paradise before.
Our Love had flown away, from its impasse,
I was broken deeply within my core.
Yet new dawn and hope grabbed me by the hand
Cried out, do not let her just slip away
You're worthless, unless you now take a stand
Seek her, else bear pain til your dying day

Bright sunny rays, sent this soul into glee
I am hers, and she is meant for me

Off to her distant place my new-heart raced
Soon would be joy, sweet dreams there born anew
Let die, angry words that had her disgraced
For Love, she must give mercy that was due
Love, can not falter if its heart is right
She saw me coming, raced forth with a grin
Her dancing glow, such a heavenly sight
Saying again, our Love vows til the end

Bright sunny rays, sent this soul into glee
I am hers, and she is meant for me

And they lived happily ever after, yes? You took me from heartache to joy and both were clearly, meaningfully felt. I enjoyed this very much. Hope all is golden in your world, Robert. All the best and poetry hugs ... CayCay
