For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Sunshine
The sun is shining, what a way
For me to start a perfect day.
But though the clouds may hide the sun,
It still will not destroy my fun.
I won’t let things affect my plan,
So I’ll do it now, while I can.
Live today, plan for tomorrow,
Don’t live in yesterday’s sorrow.
Take the time to enjoy the day,
The sun always comes back our way.
But time, so precious, goes so fast,
So live it now, before it’s past.
True, the clouds may come for a day,
But the sun comes again to play.
So, though the sun you may not see,
Still, it’s shining for you and me.

Bright and Cheery!
Lot’s of fun to read…
Bravo!!

Actually most wild cats don’t mind water, some more than others. Jaguars love water for instance. Speaking of cars, have you ever driven a Jaguar?π€π―π

No,no, you have that confused with tigers, you know catching a tiger’s tail? Why anyone would want to do that I will never know. But speaking of tales, don’t believe everything you read. Unless of course you’re tall.

Well, for me anyway! I just don’t trust my poetic ability yet I guess. I have never really made my poems public before, just shared a few privately and never got a good response from people. Maybe I will get braver. Getting late, I’m supposed to be off by 7, oh well, so much for that idea. Have a great evening!ππ
