Bright the Day that you've been given Look up, see how the sun has risen Look round, see nature there for you To give New Hope in all you do A new day dawns and with the sun Comes the peace of night undone No more weeping, no more tears Bright the day can still your fears The sun arises, greet the day It's time to cast your fears away Rise anew; take on glad pride Vanquish sorrow held inside Start afresh, a new day dawned Opportune moments now are formed Seize the day; hold with both hands Take life under your command Look up see how the sun has risen Bright the day that you've been given Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

Mysteria, I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I enjoyed writing it. Thank you for responding. Poetminister, I have read and admired some of your work, so I thank you for the praise to me. Temptress, Thank you. You sound like like you don't believe I can write inspiring, Well I can't I stole this one from Marsha, because she wasn't looking or using those words laying around her house *smile* Kit, thank you this came from a particularly splendid sunrise, and calm morning.

The sun arises, greet the day It's time to cast your fears away Rise anew; take on glad pride Vanquish sorrow held inside Start afresh, a new day dawned Opportune moments now are formed Seize the day; hold with both hands Take life under your command Look up see how the sun has risen Bright the day that you've been given ============= what a cool turn of phrase ..."Bright the day" this is delightful Keth and its a bright spot to see your name here too I'm not right ... you're not wrong ... |

ethome, I don't think this will evercome close to rock and roll, but that you like it is enough. Janet Marie, Thank you that you think I am a bright spot, most people think I am some bright spark, which is a different thing entirely. lol. vandana, thank you for your praise, I revel in it.

Giving this another trip up top. I actually got out in the sunshine today. LOL! I think my pale skin will literally be flaming at me in the morning though. And..as for your thoughts on mine...Either light or dark. It is all inspiring in some way to me. All things inspire something, and inspiration isn't always a bright light. Still loved this!  |

Interloper, Thanks, I agree every day is a gift we just have to open up eyes to recognize it, but life sometimes conspires to keep our eyes closed. Irish, Well I was positive I knew what I was doing when I started this piece not I'm not so sure Thank you.Sunshine, it would have to be huge hug for I'd need such very long arms. However Mr. Tickle and I have been practising. Here goes... S-t-r-e-e-e-e-t-c-h. *HuGS*. See that wasn't so bad was it. Hang on let me get my arms untangled, B-O-I-N-G! Much better!Temptress, you are right in that there's not much good inspirational coming from me at the moment, and my reply was a little bit of playing that Marsha and I practice, sorry you got caught up in it. Thanks for your response. Eagle One, I agree with the 'duh' but I can't say much about the rest. lol. Thanks for the encouragement. Sven, I do believe I have a gift...of the Blarney! Thanks so much. You owe me a Brother Sun poem, get cracking mister. Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Kethry dearest siter mine, Ahah, caught you now fair and square HEY EVERYONE SEE SHE ADMITS IT Think you can get away with this do you oh perfidious one. Strikes dramatic pose Keth has it in for me It's mine it's mine and you said it is, so there, Okay kid now hand it over, or I'll have you writing slogans for the election see if I don't, and what a waste that would be. Mmmmm I suppose it's okay, you don't expect praise? that's okay then. Mumble mumble, grudging approval, look what do you want? (Okay the truth YES it's wonderful and uplifting, oh and you did write it) I only wish I had written it now be off with you before I set you a challenge. It's all nonsence of course this is all fabulous, (mumble mumble mumble, I'll be watching for the next bit of pilfering missy) Love and warm stuff Slushy   Take back the hope you gave,- I claim |
