As the Sun Comes Up - a Poem
Oh, the stars I had in my eyes when I was 19!
As the sun comes up
And brings us a new day,
A smile appears
On my face
Because
I know as each new day
Is born
So is my love for you.

Each new day brings so much hope with love, laughter and lessons to learn. Lovely!!
Love the short haircut! I happened to read a quote today by Coco Chanel - "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life." I sent the quote to my daughter who cut off 12 inches of her hair to donate it.
I know your photo is from a few years ago, I am just sharing a story. :)
Fabulous poem!
Aw lovely poem! and love the haircut you had back then too!
I've found a poem of yours, posted 4 yrs ago? Well, I'm here to make 2 points, girlfriend.
First....I never met a 19 yr.old woman who didn't have stars in her eyes....never. In fact, at that age, our entire world is made of stars & flowers & butterflies....and that is how it should be. The simple course of nature.
But the hair cut!! I love Love, LOVE it!! I cannot believe how very different you look...so peppy and cute and bright-eyed & INNOCENT! It had to take an awful lot of courage to go from waist length to short, short....but honestly Sha, you look like a bouncing teenager. I seriously love it! Oh and you too, of course. Paula
Beautiful, short and sweet, great write.
Hi there its nearly midnight but after reading your poem I know that tomorrow the sun with come up again!
.....are you setting a place for me at your table? I will wash up after dinner and bring over the red wine and the passion fruit/greek yogurt cheesecake I just bought ......back home after my road trip and relaxing with the Modern Jazz Quartet and a nice cuppa mint green tea
Yes it's funny that old line - I thought I was already following you, lol.
I just came out of the lake and I was the only one in - it looks like an ocean with high waves but the water is warmer than the air now and it was so refreshing. Having a nice cuppa mint green tea with some Spanish guitar music .....
Well my sensational Shauna you will always be 19 in my heart and mind and how do you feel yourself when you look back on these words now as I write to you in this comment space.
As I always say - if you write from the heart the mind will always follow and you certainly certainly succeed on both counts.
Just finished lunch after night shift sleep and will go into the lake on a breezy light rain day because the water is warmer than the air and quite refreshing - sending 3 big Canadian hugs to you from Colin and his cat crew Tiffy and Gabriel at lake erie time 3:24pm
Oh so beautiful! That is love you know it in your heart and you are sure of it! Much love and peace to you.
I know and feel it brave! :) You still look amazing even with gray hairs.
the color will fade but your kind beautiful and loving heart will always be the same and that's what matters most. You're wondeful!
Brave, lovely write! And you look so amazing. Here's the very kind and wonderful woman I've known here in HP. She's truly wonderful!
Very nice.

Voted up and beautiful. Great to be your own best friend.
This is a really sweet notion. I may have to take some lessons from you, as I have been told I can be quite insensitive.
Awwwww...sweet!
Shauna - Your spirit and beautiful soul match your beautiful smile! You cheer me to the bone my friend!
You still have those stars in your eyes and only more amazing things await you.
Sending bright horizons your way. XO
Simple -like a kiss ;) ???
I love a happy ending. In your case, it is a story that has reached happy and will only get happier. Hooray for you, Sha! Let the party begin!
love,
bill
Beautiful! Yes - to love yourself - sometimes we have the most difficult time doing just that. It is a wonderful key to happiness though. Thank you so much for this gorgeous simplicity of wisdom. ~h~
Sometimes less words say more. Beautiful. In His Love, Faith Reaper
