Block 31

You are the sunshine of my life.

Yes,

I LOVE sunshine.

Not  heat,

not hot weather,

just the  sunshine.

Sunshine is a blessing

that comes wrapped

in brightness.

Winter,

Spring,

Summer

or Fall . . .

all you have to do is call,

and it will be there,

yes it will,

You've got some sun.

Sunshine is the basis 
of so many wonderful things:

the growth of all plant life

in the spring,

the pastel sparkle 

as it hits 

the snows of winter,

the vibrant  background

that shows off the golden colors

of fall leaves,

the warmth feeling

that reached down 

to the depths 
of this teacher's soul

when you I laid out

in the summer sun

to bake the evils 

of the school year

out of my body.

What would I do

without the blessing of the sun.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for my favorite star, the sun. It's glow makes me happy. The colors it brings out in a pile of snow is a pleasant surprise in the winter. The sparkle that shows behind the fall leaves of the Maple Trees, in Indiana, blowing in the breeze makes me smile. But there is nothing better than laying out in the sun, after a rough school year, and baking the pains and agonies, deep in ones soul, out of my body. 

You have made my world a much better place by allowing me to experience the sun and the four seasons . . . I couldn't live without either of them.

Amen.
