Daytime's Story
Listen to Gaynor reading her poem ...
Daybreak glows,
Pink and rose.
Morning new,
Sky stretched blue,
Yellow rays, golden days
Plips and plops, silver drops,
Purple shadows gently play
Daylight hours slip away
Red and orange sunset glory
Softly closes daytime’s story
Grey shades, colour fades
Evening falls,
Black calls.
Pink and rose.
Morning new,
Sky stretched blue,
Yellow rays, golden days
Plips and plops, silver drops,
Purple shadows gently play
Daylight hours slip away
Red and orange sunset glory
Softly closes daytime’s story
Grey shades, colour fades
Evening falls,
Black calls.
