Gifts

Look at the sunrise
And you will see
A gift wrapped up
For you and me
In wrapping paper
Of pink and gold
With the sun as a bow,
So bright and bold.
The beautiful gift
Of a brand new day
For you to learn
And laugh and play.

Then when the long
Long day is done,
There’s another
Gift for everyone.

Nighttime is a gift--
It’s true!
Wrapped in sunset
Of orange and blue.
And the thing about this gift
That’s best?
You get to dream sweet dreams
And rest.
