If Only I Knew

If I only I knew why the sun rises each morning of a new day, my Soul would beam with delight. But I truly don't know why it rises; maybe, to brighten our days of existence in this cruel world. Day after day, I wish I knew how my days will flourish. It may not be even now, but, hopefully, some day I might wake up from a dreadful sleep and rise in the morning like a flower waking up to the sweet chirping sound of birds dancing with their wings of joy; joy for their existence in another brand new day. How do I rise from my painful sleep? I awake to my cell phone alarm clock, with Ozzy Osbourne singing, or sometimes even a nightmare that brings my sweat to a boil. It is wishful thinking to wake up with great relief to be alive for one more new day; a day to forget yesterday and take the moment to thank the sun for rising with me. As I awake, the sun smiles and greets my day with hopeful rays of a delightful day. If I could take those smiles and greetings into my heart, my day of life might just be bright and joyful.
