A day in the sunshine

The warmth of the sun
Brings a more positive feel
Challenges arrive with the breeze
But today, the impossible can be done
 
The sky shines a brilliant blue
Flowers petals seem so real
Everyone you pass
Has the same smile
 
Lawn mowers make an appearance
Bringing a perfume of freshly cut grass
Flowers standing tall with pride  
Brings colour to every garden  
 
Children’s laughter can be heard from everywhere
‘Catch me if you can!’
Running, cycling and swinging
Loving so much freedom
 
7 o’clock brings calm light
The sun drops just in time
Children rest their heads
From an exhausting day.
 
Sunshine seems to hold off for ever
Constantly being fought off by clouds
But waking up to a bright day
Makes its challenges seem reachable.
