Ella Olson - Sunrise

A faint glow on the horizon
Brings the promise of a new day.
As the sun ascent has begun
It will illuminate the way.

A flickering glint between leaves
Confirms it will be a nice day.
The sunshine bright above the trees
Reminds us all it is midday.

When trying to gaze at the sun
We only see dark spots in the way.
When we shade our eyes from the sun
We enjoy a wonderful day.
