Won't You Join Me?

Mr. Sol, our friend, our hero

our sustainer of life

We wake up to it's

cheery good morning greeting

Can't help smiling back

even when life isn't all tickety boo

Heard the phrase

wait five minutes... it's true

The ups and downs at times

can be quite overwhelming

but it's all part of

life's exciting adventure

Sure would be pretty uninteresting

in fact quite mundane

if it was otherwise

However, those extraordinary

and exciting events certainly make up

for a few unpleasant occurrences

Of course losing a loved one

transcends all else

but even that which can seem

so devastating at the time

eventually though not forgotten

we are able to move on with living

thank goodness

Dear Mr. Sol will still

keep rolling round every day

till his lunar partner

big old Mr. Moon lights our way

A romantic image for lovers

the world over

So if it isn't obvious yet

this old duffer is an optimist

with an upbeat and happy

approach to life

Won't you join me?
