July Morning Sunshine

Mike Singleton's Unofficial Challenge

As I look in the morning sun

Is it smiling at me

Is it special in July - Is it different every year

This morning, it is telling me to look a little closer

Is it's beams trying to tell me something

What is it today in July of all days

Is it a rocket that explodes in the sky

Or of mystery that explains why

From the sun worshipers on the beach

To every celebration that uses July to teach

We all reside under the same sun of July

Let us spin and twirl under its delight

Be quick -The July fun won't last forever
