Sundial Wisdom

As the sun touches my dial
Warmth becomes me in daylight while
At night I sleep and do not have the time
For the suns smile helps me with time

As this bright light moves around 
Shade tells me the time
My dial is tall and does not move
Yet rotates with the earth around and around

When the clouds above cover me I take a nap
Not caring what time it maybe
I have been around since 293 BC
I never get tired of telling you the time

I am your every-ready Time piece

Jennifer, there was only one spot left and I got into a hurry and didn't read it correctly and didn't start the poem off right so I got an N/A totally my fault.
