The days are just not long enough to see all the beauty that surrounds us.

When I awake each early morning And my eyes adjust to dawn I see what Mother Nature's brought Today...there's rabbits on my lawn Tulips and roses of shades of red And yellow and pink carnations Flowers growing everywhere Beautiful - god creations A picturesque sky...way up high The rising of the sun Trails and trails from bunnies tails The rabbits on the run In fading moon - a kit raccoon... Hides beneath a tower Scared from chimes - ringing Church bells on the hour Soon the moon man hides his face And says good-bye - but not in brusque He says good day, live life...go play Before the day turns dusk Dusk or Dawn (New Poems Only) Poetry Contest Sponsored by Emile Pinet 7/20/2018

Charlie, a delightful verse and my kind of poetry! Thank you for the kind thought regarding my wife's passing. We had 66 wonderful years together. The best to you as you continue your poetical journey - Bob

Hello Bob, thank you for your wonderful comments. That is just beautiful how long you and your wife have been together. I love hearing of long relationships. It is a rare thing these days with all the divorcing going around. I myself have been through two of them. She must have been a wonderful woman, I'm sure. My thoughts and prayers my friend...Chariie
