Sun Rising Poem by Alondra Gonzalez

When all the songs are over
And all the words have been said
The sun grows dim across the sky
And the world prepares for bed

I often take a moment now
To view the sky above
And whisper to god a simple prayer
In that prayer I thank god for my life

For letting me see the sun shine upon us
As he watches over us
And what he sees is not always good
Because people are forgetting him

So now that he hears my prayer
He speaks to me through messages,
Through challenges that he sends to me
And I learn from them

Those challenges that I defeat are things
That brings me close to him
And are the things that help me wake up
In the morning with a smile on my face
