Under the Sun

A drop of red on the horizon
a solitary gleam of grace
the look as she lays her eyes on
her little childs face

Summers fading
the seasons changing
new times are to come
New seasons under the sun

A leaf changes to vibrant
yellow a child heads off to school
His first year being sent
This is always the rule

Summers fading
the seasons are changing
new times to come
New seasons under the sun

New seasons under the sun

The child part is because my nephew was born in the fall, so i based this on how he was born in the fal land will someday soon head off to school in the fall, jsut two basic things that happen in that season we don't usually think of. What do you think?

Hi'a Rue,

Loved the first verse and then got totally side tracked by the line "New seasons under the sun " i started thinking of seasons in the sun by Terry someone and can't for the life of me remember his name...was it "Jacks"

So i would try and re word that line somewhere along the way,

Nice to see you back here again

Go well
Ja'mir :wink:

It was.

Oddly enough, I didn't make that connection on the first read. But now I can't sever it. Thanks Jamir. :?

Rue, I like this one, and I think the last line in the chorus works well, but as Jamir said, perhaps it could work better. I can't think of any suggestions off hand, but if I come up with any, I'll le tyou know. I'm just always delighted when your submissions rhyme. 8) Seriuously, I only say that because I know it's not you're favorite thing in the world. But lately, you've been doing terrific with it.

I still like the first one better.

"New seasons under the sun"

At least for me, it doesn't call to mind "Seasons in the sun" in this context.

Of course, that's just my $0.02.

Hi Rue

Great stuff - first verse is superb. I like stuff about the passing of the seasons (hence the assignment) and I think you've done really well withthis.

Great Stuff
