Sundial Wisdom

I only tell of sunny hours...
The cheerful makings of memories
Cloudy bouts to be forgotten
Nights meant for relaxation
Each a designated pause between
Sunfilled enjoyment and adventures
I only tell of sunny hours...
The ones that are important
So you’ll bite into life with vigor
And treasure each bright day 
As the divine gift it truly is
I am your witness and accomplice
I only tell of sunny hours...

"so you'll bite into life with vigor" - this sounds like Auntie Mame, my favorite movie of all time. Her personality could have tried to write this one, but Line, only you could have completed it.

Nice way to share your sunshine Line. There may be love without happiness, but there can be no happiness without love.
