Light That Shines

M-orning light that shines
I-s viewed in pure delight; 
K-ind weather at dawn
A-llows the day to be bright.
E-arly light that shines
L-ets not the raindrops fall; 
A-nnouncing the sun will rise to warm and soothe someone's soul.

L-ight that shines after dark
U-nder the lane causes mirth; 
C-louds above don't gather, 
I-nstead they gladly greet your birth.
L-ight that shines up high is there to make you smile; 
A-cross the sky the beacon burns to fuel the flame all the while.

O-n July twenty-sixth morn, 
L-onely evening is over; 
G-ray haze has just turned
I-nto a clean wide open air.
N-ight cold chill passes by, as the dusk goes to the exit signs; 
A-ll that's left is nothing but the light that shines.
