Morning Sunshine

A poem for our daily sunshine...Cassie

 

 

Morning Sunshine

 for Cassie

 

 

Clouds all a’ scatter, the greyest of views

Drizzle does tickle the ground

Willows are weeping amidst early gloom

Sadness this world can be found

 

Chipmunks now scurry to hide in their den

Songbirds stay silent away

Butterfly tear drops now longing to end

Shadows they frighten this day

 

~~~~~~

 

Then the horizon a whispering sight

Ribbons of cellophane gold

Trinkets of beams form an early day light

Frowns soon to be put on hold

 

For outside my window now beckoning me

Glowing in smiles ever fine

Shimmering happiness all come to see

Cassie our morning sunshine

What a pretty image you paint with these well-chosen words! I especially like the ribbons of cellophane gold. This poem was a delight to read. :)

Thank you so very much Lily

I too feel out of the loop, as I do not know this person...or if I do, it is not personally. Still, the ode is so beautifully written. Jack, I think you truly shine when you write "for" or "about" someone, because your amazing heart is fully realized in these pieces. You make connections on an emotional level that are truly inspiring. This was sublime, delicate, lovely and Cassie is a lucky girl for having such a beautiful piece penned for her. Well done!

Thanks so much Sarah. Cassie is a special member of our WC family. The two of you are on vastly different time zones. Cassie is usually on during my morning where you come around during my afternoons, so that is why you two may have not crossed paths. She is a very sweet girl.

[Cassie]

Thank you my dear friend for describing me so sweetly...

[Kelly Scheppers]

I feel so out of the loop, for not knowing her...

There is a love woven between the lines, as warm as the sun itself. A most beautiful presentation, Jack!

Thank you so much Kelly. Cassie is a friend here at WC who always seems to bring a smile with her when she arrives. I just wanted to do something nice for her.
