New Morn's Sun In Sky So Brilliantly Blue
New Morn's Sun In Sky So Brilliantly Blue
Was she a shadow beauty, faded and lost,
last year's crop stubble tilled underneath?
True, eyes no longer shine as morn bright frost,
her smile no longer showing pearly white teeth.
What tremendous havoc has Time dared to wreck
upon cheeks, chin and supple breasts that now sag?
Each day she saw in her mirror as she inspects,
huge wrinkles like that of a old, crumpled bag.
Yet her heart, her heart remained true and kind
her soft soul yet yearned for great love anew.
Would such golden treasure she ever again find
after her beauty, that Time had sought to undue?
Yet when love came, she found despair had gone
for its power and gift was to her beauty renew.
For her new love, his love-light upon her shone,
she was new morn's sun in sky so brilliantly blue!
