Our golden bliss

On this joyful day, the sun has come out to play
It calls to bring us out of isolation and to give us relaxation
Days have turned into months of quarantine, but we have not lost our golden bliss
The warmth of our yellow friend, awakens the world
It pushes away the cold
It reminds us that we are in this together
That this won’t last forever
The brushing breeze
Pollen’s sneeze
Won’t stop us
We will enjoy this blessed setting of nature
Our golden bliss shines on us
Giving us our own special spotlight
To make our skin glow
And also our soul
So, bring out the funky shades and big hats and run outside
Let the sunshine give you that tan you’ve been lurking for
Let it encourage you to pull out your hidden drawer of shorts
Let it inspire you to live the day to the fullest
Enjoy the peaceful air and de-stress
Amongst this horrid mess
The radiant sun has found its way
To brighten your day
As it has enjoyed its stay, our friend must go away
Leaving us alone to find our own way
But we shall not fear the enemy of darkness
For we can still find happiness
Our yellow companion delivers a surprise
Its eager partner in crime
She has awoken from her peaceful slumber
Carrying with her more times to remember
