SUNSHINE – AN ENGLISH LYRICAL POEM

Searching  into every corner making everything seem warm and bright
We feel the temperature rising to a new height
And a perfect blue fills the sky
Step out of the door and feel the warmth caressing your face
Feel your body sun-kissed and warmer with every pace

See the blossoms in full bloom and the leaves a luscious green

Dispel the doomy feelings from cold weather and in your summer clothes be seen

Sunshine makes people feel young and also be free

You can see happy dogs, happy parents and children filled with glee

But as the heat builds up to an oppressive hot

We sometimes think of the rain we had forgot

Rushing inside to take a cold bath or icy shower

The hot weather burns on hour upon hour

Beckoning us to go lazing in the park

Or go and cool off having a drink while it gets dark

Perfumes of the body heat rub off on us and others too

But lets face it hot weather rarely makes us feel blue

We suddenly discover clothes we half remembered we had

And to put them on – however scanty makes us feel so glad

When we dress up together with hats and specs its a bit of a pantomime

But its how we remember that we are finally in the midst of Summertime!

Cheers All!
