Eastern sunrise

Seven thirty sunrise

Hope

Sun rays Bright

New day ahead

Seven forty-five sunshine

High above

Over lake water

Sitting in eight o’clock traffic

His bright sunny smile

Moves ahead of me

Reaching for sun glasses

Right turn at the light

Following close behind

Warming 30-degree morning

School guard directs traffic

For middle scholars’

Impatient drivers

Hating the wait

College students

Heavy backpacks

Make their way

Across campus grounds

Right turn at the light

Warm sunrise

Move on ahead of me

Hanging high

Nine thirty hour

Behind white cotton clouds
