That's throwing off the sunrise
Making it dull and unnoticable
to all the people walking by.
They walk by and sneer and
talk about how much nicer it could be.
Well,
I think they could be nicer
There's nothing in the world like seeing the
start of the day splashed against a boring backdrop
That comes to life when we smile at its truth
Nod wisely at its hospitable gesture
And understand that it's only there for us to stand under.
The banner of the day
Dripping slowly down our spines
As we sit
and watch
and wait
For the message it has already sealed in a personal envelope
One for each who dares to observe
No one will go unnoticed
Not unless they turn a cold shoulder
When all they had to do was lend a hand or a word where it was needed.
