Here Comes the Sun

It's been dull and dreary for months on end.
The chill of winter is lingering long,
Invading my bones and disturbing my mind.
How I wish this season would hurry along.

Waking this morning I glanced out my window,
Expecting more snow, more clouds, more gray.
But to my surprise and immense delight,
Golden sunlight is in full display!

Here comes the sun in all of its glory,
To warm up the earth and begin its rebirth.
The ice will soon melt and nature awaken,
With colorful flora sprouting up from the earth.

Here comes the sun, see it rise in the east,
Feel its warmth on your face at midday.
Winter's sojourn is coming to an end.
Hallelujah! Spring is on the way.

Whenever I make it to this site, I will make a point of reading your work. This is a beautiful work! The flow of the tempo is so wonderful, it only seems the last stanza loses a bit of the tempo, to me. Beautiful work. :)

This is so nice, Kim, I love that song with the same title too. But I like your poem better because that song just keeps saying the same thing over and over again: here comes the sun do do do do!! However, your poem says so much more!!
