One Sunrise Ago

One sunrise ago
The sun doth shine
Upon the horizon of hope and dreams
And sweet was the music
Of birds calling out to each other
Children playing in the streets
Shouting to each other
The cows sleepy at their pasture
The choir singing to the Lord
And the far away church bells
The ladies returning home
After a fun filled day of shopping
And weary yet happy fathers
Clasping at their daughter's hand
Taking them through the town fair
And small tough boys
Running away from their moms
The newspaper boy calling out to the crowd
The butcher at the corner surveying his shop
Glum looking kids with their heavy school bags
The baker selling biscuits to the child
A gift for his sick grandmother
Trees swaying in the evening breeze
Moon shining down on a world full of peace
Stars running merrily through the clouds
Love birds walk through the moonlit alley
Holding hands and promising
The night bird sitting
Crying to the night
A lone cat finding shelter in the trash bin
Peace and silence finally settling in.
One sunrise ago
The wind was cool and world so lovely
I used to sleep then
And my dreams were so pretty...
