My Sunrise

Where we hail home, our native land
The sun rises in the east
Our harsh winters here
Make the sun impossible to beam

Come winter's end 
When everyone emerges
To welcome in the spring
The sunrise is brilliant 

From one extreme to the next
Through winter's cold 
And spring's stare
My sunrise is to remember

Won 1st. place
Contest Sunrise Vs. Sunset
