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...

I though of our good days and bad days while reading this one. We have sunny bright days and blue cloudy days. Well wriiten.

"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.
