The Days When Sun Came To Play

It amazes me what warmth is set free, On long summer days all spent in play, By a smile, and chuckle and a promise to stay. Standing in awe at the amber sea, Are father, mother, daughter and son, Staring out where all day, Sun had shone. Before it hides away from the night, it glares forth a challenge to Family, "Can you make the very most of me?" Sun peaks through the windows at dawn, Waking Family with a chuckle and smile, "Are you awake, making the most of my wiles?" Sun follows Family's cycles to the forest as well. Guarding them with warmth, kissing well their city skin, "Are you playing a game by going in and out of the dim?" At lunch time Sun is high in the sky, Joining in, stealing a little of Family's ice cream, "I'm sorry, I don't mean it to seem mean!" In afternoon Sun follows Family to sea, Warming the water and highlighting the rocks, "Can you see me greeting boats at the docks?" Evening creeps in, chasing Sun away. But as it dips down it says it's Goodnight, "Bless you all 'till tomorrow, I'll wake you early and bright!"
