I heard her melodious voice calling on me.
She announces the departure of a night slowly.
I knew I had to wake up, or she would peek at me.
I left my bed to stare and saw her lovely smile. 
Punctuality, among other features that she has, I admire.
She was coming consistently from the east side down to the west, where she retired.

She dazzles so brightly, revealing her beautiful dentition.
I saw flowers raise Their arms to receive her blissful warmth.
But her punches on the skin hurts more than a lethal injection.
The thought of her altitude, together with her amplitude, makes me ponder about her size.
I see that smile on her face running away.
Without hesitation, she calls it a day.

I would love to see you every day by day.
Oh, your ocean of amusement, a fountain of light.
I appreciate the way you unceasingly brighten my day.
Nature’s gift to humanity that shines so bright.
I saw the way that you scare the night away.
I stare at your enchanting smile as it tells the tale of a new day.
I also stare with admiration when you frown and bid us farewell.
