Notes About The Poem

Wonderful - Our Sun


W - Wondrous are the golden rays of each dawn's morning bliss.
O - Outstanding is its brilliant setting when the day's dismissed.
N - Notable in how it sinks behind a mountain crest.
D - Divine the sight when light peeps thru fluffy clouds compressed.
E - Eye-opening when rays reflect off sparkling waterfalls.
R - Rare times when sunset colors paint those huge red-orange balls.
F - Fabulous when sinking 'neath horizons out at sea.
U - Unbelievable eclipses with earth's moon for us to see.
L - Lovely are the days it shines with hope for you and me.
