Analysis of Sunburst

Ron VanHooser 1956 (Franklin County, MO)



Night goes and morning comes,
I'm ready to start another day,
but not until I see the sky
and what it has to play.

The horizon is shining brightly
with pink, orange and red,
as the sun slowly climbs
bringing another day ahead.

A light mist is in the air,
dew is on the ground,
the birds begin to sing
as nature opens all around.

The sun rises ever higher
with more colorful bursts.
This is what I wanted to see
the beautiful morning sunburst.

Thank the Master Painter
for a beautiful piece of art
that comes to us every morning
and touches all our hearts.
