I stagger to open my eyes, looking out the window as I lay
I awaken to a morning, with skies painted in hues of gray
Sunshine emerges through the clouds, with softening, warming rays
Shimmering lights dance on the turbid water, as I overlook a somber bay
Like diamonds glistening, dancing restless and at play
Remember this very instant in life; file it away...for it may
Burn into your soul, an image of happiness; you will never have to pay
Tis a perfect way to embrace a new dawn, alive and say
Moments like this should be cherished each and everyday
So if you ever look outside your window and gleam towards my way
I hope a smile will be with you, every mile you walk, longing to stay
