Dawn Is Its Own Answer

We receive light 
from a powerful star 
which enables us to survive 
Our finite time here 
is really something of a miracle
Scientists will analyze it 
but true appreciation of this wonder 
belongs to the poets
Our time is brief 
we must do what we can within its confines
Eyes light up on warm, sunny days
Our hearts send out our thanks 
To whomever is responsible for this magic
It is a gift, I believe 
from the Master of Forever

Poets do take the time to stop and enjoy the beauty of life that surrounds them, much more than the average person. Sometimes, I think the world might be a better place if everyone were a poet!.... This is a wonderful poem, Matthew! I really enjoyed it!
