Under the warm sun 

The happy children run wild 

Without a worry


Embraced by nature

Barefoot running through the grass

Everlasting fun


Days become longer 

As noon carries its troubles

Yet the warmth remains


And as the sun sets  

Memories dance, sweet and bright

Yet shadows lengthen 


A bittersweet taste 

Of an incoming darkness 

With a light to come


The sun's shine returns

Its warmth a guiding beacon

Leading us forward 


The sun is now east

And yet we still feel its warmth

It's touch follows us  


Farewell yesterday

Memories etched in sunlight 

Hello Tomorrow
