The World in Gold

The sunlight tints the world in gold.
It wakes me from the depths of dream
And warms my skin against the cold.

I pick a tea that’s strong and bold
For mornings where the snow can gleam.
The sunlight tints the world in gold.

The cup of tea I try to hold.
It coats my glasses in the steam,
But warms my skin against the cold.

The household wakes up uncontrolled.
I hear my nephew’s morning scream.
The sunlight tints the world in gold.

The baby finds himself consoled
By family with smiles that beam.
It warms my skin against the cold.

I leave for school and feel old;
But life worth living takes a team.
The sunlight tints the world in gold
And warms my skin against the cold.
