The sun was brightly
shining when I arose
on this cool, clear day
I love these days
of winter here....so
peacefully shining, the sun,
in such a loving way

It seems to wear a big smile
as if to say, come out and
enjoy me, do you want to play

I wonder if you are enjoying
the beautiful sun where
you are this morn, I know
you are somewhere out there
beneath the big skies, wishing
to me your love could show

Wait, I hear the birds
singing way up high in the sky,
Are they bringing a message
from you to me
Listening closely I seem
to hear the words,
"I love you", so clearly

Wait, I think I see dark
clouds coming into view
I wonder if it will rain
I know as you look in the
skies, in your heart you
feel the same pain

Only a few more days,
my love, and together
you and I will be
Enjoying each other, with
the sun smiling at us
or rain, we may see

Regardless of what nature,
in all its wisdom,
may to us show
Being together will be such joy,
no matter what else happens,
of this we surely know

Where I am's cold and rain. I can't wait to take a long walk in it. Weather is, after all so democratic, it doesn't discriminate. How lucky you've some further warmth to look forward to.

RSWells, thank you so much for reading my poem. I appreciate your reply, too.
BTW, I love to read your poetry. I read but sometimes don't reply because you make me speechless with your excellent choice of words. You are a very talented poet, kind Sir.

Very sweet thoughts here, Ethel...
I don't know where Gary is, but its always interesting to wonder about what the weather is where our loved ones are...
I always watch the weather channel because my family is scattered all up and down the eastern seaboard...
BTW... Its beautiful here in Michigan today, Sunny and around 50 degrees

I hope, too, that you get to see Joanna real soon,

Lyra....
You're so sweet, Chippymunk.
Gary's in Florida, too, but way over to the east coast. My daughter's in Massachusetts. My brother' in Missouri, and I have relatives all over Alabama and Florida. So, I watch the weather in other places a lot, too.
Oh, I'm glad that you're having good weather in Michigan today.
Thanks, Chippymunk.

Scorpio.....
Yes, I do believe that when a couple is apart, their love grows stronger.....sometimes, anyway. Thanks for your reply.

Chris....
