Happy Thursday and thank you for joining me. Today’s poem out loud is called Thank you, Sun.

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

Thank you, Sun. 
I don’t think I say it enough. 
You made my day on this cold
winter morning. You could be tucked 
behind a fluffy cloud—instead, 
you’re bold 
with a glorious glow.

My eyes are happy to squint in
your presence. You warm 
my face and ask for 
nothing
in return. 
You give energy
to my weary bones. 
I beam on the country roads. 

Thank you, Sun. 
It’s a joy to be with you 
as I run.
