Sunshine Poem by Daniel Bernard Kelleher

Today the sun is shining
The sky blue as the sea
Animals start out the day
With a frolic around the lea
Birds rise from their roost
As if to say good morning
The dawn chorus at its very best
To the delight of all around
Milk bottles placed on doorsteps
Children stirring from their beds
Get up ye'll be late for school
Mothers shout from every house
Fathers face an others days work
As he races out the door
For his wife a quick kiss
Shouts back at the kids
Get up its a grand old day
Children now gone off to school
Mothers day just beginning
Starting upstairs working down
Now its time to call next door
For a nice cup of tea with Mary
A bright little spark old soul
We sit outside in the sunshine
Wave at neighbours as they pass by
Greet them all with a smile
Mary says its a beautiful morning
With the sun high in the sky
