Earnestly

by Joe Cramer

So earnestly I sit and view,
Waiting for the day to begin.
The minutes pass slowly by
As the time stands still.
A quiet stirring in the trees
Lifts the morning air once more.
Slowly the sunrises, as if a chore
Doing little else than such a breeze
That drifts around as it will.
Softly the sun rises on high,
So earnestly I wait for the end
Of night, these moments are so few.
