I think there's nothing more beautiful
Than the sun's birth at dawn
The magic of the moment
And the anticipation
While waiting and holding one's breath

Just before the sun bursts into being
I love the sounds, the sight, the scent
And the stars fading from the lightening sky
When I hear the Kookaburras singing
High above upon their perch

I give thanks to Mother Nature
For sharing this moment with me
As I watch a fan of sun rays spread out
Dissipating the last night chills from my body
And I smile to the sun's birth at dawn
