The sun rises with certain vigor
Ready to begin the day
It pushes me on my way
I drag my feet, along to the beat
Of selfless bumblebees

Emerging flowers say hello
Fighting for the sun’s sweet stare
As I imagine stopping- to smell the roses
Breathe the fresh scented air
Live a careless life, perfect is garunteed

A few moody clouds crawl
Into view as they let raindrops fall
Quietly down my face, full of truth
They tell me life’s one answer:
Troubles weave together, creating a life of happiness
