Morning Song
The sun peeks out and paints the sky,
The birds begin to chirp and fly.
The grass is wet with drops of rain,
The day wakes up and starts again.
The river runs with splashing sound,
It twists and turns along the ground.
The trees stand tall and sway with breeze,
Their leaves dance softly in the trees.
The wind blows gently through the air,
It moves the clouds without a care.
The world feels fresh, the light is bright,
And morning brings a happy sight.
